Zubb 1147 Posted March 3, 2021 Wondering if anyone has explored Fred Canyon within the last few weeks. From Kitchen Creek rd/campground, can you head up? Seems I recall there was always an (open) gate just above the campground. I'm wondering if you can get up to the gate at Thing (and around it still also) Saturday I saw Thing was still gated at the top (sunrise hwy). It would be great if one could ride up Fred, down Thing and loop back out on La Posta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted March 3, 2021 It's been a LONG time since I rode Fred, but there is a gate, and for me it was closed about half the time. Easily circumvented, probably closed for trucks only. It's a great route, probably worth riding UP Thing to the gate and back out to La Posta. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zubb 1147 Posted March 4, 2021 Yeh I think you're right. If Fred is closed at the Kitchen creek campground I could go up La Posta to Thing and up the next intersection that's gated with a nice work around. Maybe even get a ways up there before hitting the next gate that is 'new' and construction related. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crfxer 87 Posted March 4, 2021 All the gates were closed this past weekend, but didn't go by La Posta Other than that it was pretty much the same as always. Some patches of snow still up towards the top 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shutterrev 512 Posted March 4, 2021 With the rains we have just had, and I think more coming, I'm sure gates will be closed/closing. 😥 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crfxer 87 Posted March 4, 2021 How about Pine Creek? It was open this past weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sputnik62a 0 Posted March 22, 2021 The gate by the campground to Fred was closed today. The lower 2 gates on Pine Creek were open, but the 3rd gate was locked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShaftEd 4 Posted August 2, 2021 Hello All, Don't get on here too much but some of you might know about the new gate at Thing Valley. Sunday I was coming down Thing from S1 and hit a brand new gate about a mile before the main gate at Fred Canyon turn off. Posted with "private property" signs. Seems strange as this is a public road? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
