We’ll park our cars at the end of plowed road (Eldora Rd., CO-130) on the west side of Eldora and snowshoe (or perhaps hike with micro-spikes) 0.75 miles along the Fourth of July Road to the junction with the Hessie Road/Trail.

This is a CMC Bobcats trip.  The Bobcats’ mission is to ensure a variety of challenging CMC trips, mostly on weekdays, all year long, for our mostly 50+ constituents.
