food sent me this in a PM...wanted to open up this thread for discussions on location as well, though. No reason to keep his good ideas private!
I'm pretty sure Rampart Range Road is maintained but I'll confirm before we make plans, if that's where we choose to go. Rampart Range Road is dirt but well maintained in three-seasons, and I've driven on it in winter with a standard 4WD.Quote:

hwy 14 is always plowed, it goes all the way up to cameron pass and then down the other side towards steamboat springs. there are several trailheads and big parking lots there along the hwy. it's nice country up near the pass. i haven't hiked many of the trails though, but access to them is on paved rd. i'm all for a car camp type campout as well, what were you guys thinking? the rmnp stomp (which cannibal and i both almost went to but didn't) had a long hike in. i wouldn't mind getting some snowshoes, might be kinda fun. i'm up for whatever though
I'm thinking a mile or so hike in would be good...just like Mt Rogers. Wouldn't be completely opposed to a car camp, though. I hope it's good showshoe weather...I plan on buying a set shortly after we get there.
Sounds mighty inviting ...........
