Hall / JeffCo - trail conditions Sunday a.m.?

[kirklott]

Greetings. Anyone ridden Hall or Golden trails yet today?

It rained HARD in Lafayette last night, and I'm wondering about trail conditions.

[ignazjr]

rained pretty good here last night, too. Give it another couple hours of sun and Hall should be perfect.

It was weird last night. Dry as a bone in Boulder, but we got back to Lafayette, and it was like a tropical cloud burst.

[kirklott]

Just got this report from Golden: "huge storm last night. Give it til late in the afternoon."

[PBR me!]

Rained hard down south Littleton area. Deer Creek prob. muddy/ soft till late afternoon.

Lots of rain here on GM too. Ground is still wet in my yard. Humid as h3ll too.

Sure hope no one got caught out on the trails around here in Golden -- it's raining like a mother out here! (not to mention the amazing lightning show accompanied by almost constant thunder!!!

Saw a couple of riders coming down the end of Chimney Gulch right in the middle of a gusher. That was around 3:30. BC was BEAUTIFUL!

BC was BEAUTIFUL!

That is where I am going early tomorrow...

Wow! How ironic. It hasn't rained in two weeks here on some island off of Seattle.

Yeah, but you have to deal with all of those foo foo Micro$oft coffee freaks.

Not exactly that where I'm at. It's like Boulder on an Island. Pot-smoking hippie artsy rich coffee freaks.

The real issue here is the office conditions and working on weekends.

What Island are you on? I used to live in Seattle, and am curious. By your description, I'm going to guess Bainbridge or Vashon. Or, are you in the San Juans?

Great pic, Lidar.

I hope we get some dry trails tomorrow, though it doesn't look hopeful at all.

[hitek79]

What's it looking like down in Pueblo or the Springs?

Look for trails that are sand based. IF we get some good clearing tonight, the trails could be in primo shape by the a.m. The heaviest rain today was east of the foothills.

Seriously?? What was all that stuff coming down here in Golden? Of course, I have nothing to compare it to since I was sitting and looking out the window -- but it sure did seem rather heavy! Can't imagine what it was like east of the foothills then!

My unofficial rain gauge in South Denver had us at 1.5 inches of water from that burst this afternoon.

Looking at NOAA totals puts .75 in Evergreen and 1.30 in the Lakehood/Golden area

Currently, Orcas, Eastsound. Perfect bike weather here.

Any idea how the trails look this (monday) AM around Golden?

Rather wet, I'm afraid.....

[PBR me!]

Just the right amount of tackiness!! With the pine needles covering the trail it was nice and quiet with the occasional yield to a hiker. Dodged all the rain and had perfect conditions. So if you DVR the Nuggets game go hit the trails and prob. won't be too crowded.

No mud what so -ever. Hit both loops and reversed them both starting at the rattlesnake gulch TH.

Buffalo Creek was spectacular, but for some mechanical issues.
