Horsetooth!!
This event will be held in Fort Collins, Colorado, at Horsetooth Reservoir, Solider Bay.
Parking will be (refer to directions below) limited so this means CARPOOL, you can use the pay parking lot and arrange a shuttle to the smaller one.
There is a small parking lot on your right less than a minute past the main parking area. This is where the short hike starts. Just follow the trail along the rock face down towards the water. Near the shore there is a place to get around the rock to the left. You can't miss it.
This will mean that you should pack effieciently. No wagons! the trail is narrow. It will take 5 minutes to get to the area in a rocky cove on the reservoir. Good foot wear is suggested. Bring lunch if needed.
We can have a few vehicles at this smaller free lot to help with keeping toolboxes and some personal gear at the closer parking lot. You can drop off your gear at the is lot and then park back at the pay lot. We will have to set up a shuttle between the two parking lots. Remember that parking at the Sunrise lot is $6 for the day. Remember that any big jobs for the restrooms needs to be done at the Sunrise parking lot. So eat well and get the job done early. At the comp site just be discreet. Remember to pack out all you bring in.
Directions from the South:
Merge onto I-25 N / US-87 N toward FT COLLINS
Take the HARMONY exit (exit 265) - Turn LEFT (West) onto E HARMONY RD(CO-68 W ROAD)
Continue to follow HARMONY RD(CO-68 W ROAD) This will have some curves but don't turn off of HARMONY.
HARMONY RD (CO-68 W) becomes CR-38E. Follow this up the hill to reservior.
From here use the map on below link. As you first get to the reservoir, you meet with CR23, here you turn Right or North. You should still be on the East side of the reservoir. If you turn South, you have missed the turn. Continue North along the reservoir and turn left at the T-in the road
(continuing North). You drive across one damn and continue to the parking area labled Sunrise on the map (see link below for map). I believe it is just after the second cattle guard. This is the pay lot you will park in. Continue past this lot less than one minute. There will be a small parking lot on the Left just before the road crosses the next damn. This is where the hike to Soldier Bay starts.
