Trail Conditions - Valentine to Kilgore Read/reply
DB, Colorado 6/21/2011 10:52:52 AM
What are the trail conditions from Valentine to Kilgore. I know the map show that section to be "undeveloped", but what does that mean ? Dirt/Packed earth, bush and weeds (not passable), etc. ?

Thanks -

From what I am reading on the trail conditions for the past months of 2011, the trail is a bit rough. Is that a normal and ongoing condition?

We tried to do the trail starting June 19 in Valentine, but after 2 days called it because of pouring rain, hail and tornado warnings. These things happen, so that's not a gripe about the trail. We made it about 80 miles before being rained out.

It's not listed but there is a wonderful campground here right on the trail! There is a modern bathroom and electricity. Sign the guest book and leave a donation. I spent a very nice evening there.

Stayed here one night in June 2011. No laundry room and hot tub was closed. Didn't have a reservation so I got a smelly smoking room. Otherwise an okay hotel. Next to a truck stop.
