kkug 145 Posted March 2, 2017 The gates were closed last weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oracle 195 Posted March 3, 2017 They are still closed...and have been for weeks. I parked my bike at the bottom of SYTT last week and walked up the trail a bit. There is extensive erosion. My guess is that it won't be open for some time. We know it's fine to ride, by USFF I'm sure thinks it's in our best interest to keep it close so we don't hurt ourselves....

Trail for 2 for Tuesday is black mountain truck trail, there's also black canyon rd start at magnolia Ave and goes to mesa grade it's just smooth gravel road.

Pokey151 238 Posted March 3, 2017 oops you are correct, I called the Ranger yesterdays and Black Mountain Truck trail is open. They are checking other trails to see if they can open or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crawdaddy 96 Posted March 8, 2017 Headed up last night as planned....... Gates were open and Santa Ysabel TT/Black Mtn TT weren't as nasty as I expected......still the typical rutty mess in places but I expected bigger/deeper erosion ruts after the recent rains....... I had a coupe of cans from Baja left in my cooler in the RZR.......a quick glance left me thinking "Perla Negra" was just another dark beer like Negra Modelo........wrong, these things are some sort of redbullish/Jager boozed up energy drink.......so I just had one Nice to catch the sunset and still be home well before 7.......that said, I'm looking forward to the time change next week......early dinner followed by Sunset on the ridge.....

Crawdaddy 96 Posted March 13, 2017 Time to kick off the 2017 season........the sun sets at ~7pm tomorrow.......I'm going to grab an early dinner and then head up to the view point (short of the top.....good angle for the sunset).......should be up there around ~6:45.......

wildwood 11 Posted March 14, 2017 Man this is the day for it. I'm getting an itch only that place can scratch. I wonder if anyone around Alpine is interested in a run over via Boulder Creek? A 2 hr. trek from Descanso. Hhmmmm........lurking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oracle 195 Posted March 14, 2017 I'm out of town but wishing I was there with you guys. Have fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwood 11 Posted March 15, 2017 A little late on the uptake, as usual. It's on the radar now that the time has changed. We'll have to get a southern contingent organized from around here and make it over. Run Cedar Creek TT for fun on the way. Tom Petty and margaritas have broken out here anyway, I'm good.
