Climbing and Scrambling in the Gore Range: 2 weeks, 2 days ago · ViewI worked in the Gore for Outward Bound as an instructor in the late 70′s. Would like to return and bring my grown daughters. Anything much changed? Any particular restrictions on camping? Is OB still there?
Hi Craig,
Welcome back. Did you ever visit Bulah Walls, who had a little ranch on Pebble Crrek (just north of Rock Creek)? We have had a cabin up there since 1973. If you visited back then, you should come back some time. We are the highest cabin in the valley (which had 6 houses then, about 30 now).
Best wishes,
Bill Betz

What do you think? Any thoughts or concerns? I also am a little confused. One site says no permits [...]

Climbing and Scrambling in the Gore Range: 2 months ago · ViewJoe K. wrote, “Perhaps the least-known route on Peak C begins from the Bubble Lake Basin on its east side. This southeast side route follows snow, rock, and grass gullies and ramps across the top of the exhilarating north face.”
Anyone done this, or know of a route description?
Thanks from New Orleans,
ErikIt looks like a cool route. I’d be worried about how loose it is.

Climbing and Scrambling in the Gore Range: 2 months, 1 week ago · ViewJim’s suggestion is one of the easier valleys as well, which is great if you don’t have that much experience but still want to have some great views and plenty of peaks to hike up. It’s also a fairly expansive area too – there’s a lot in every direction. As you go northward, the valleys [...]

Climbing and Scrambling in the Gore Range: 2 months, 1 week ago · ViewBoy, that’s a good question. One good idea might be setting up a camp above the graves on the Gore Creek trail towards Red Buffalo Pass. Great options: Red Peak, Red Buffalo Pass, Gore Lake, Snow Lake, Snow Peak, Hail, Zodiac View, Willow, East Thorn, Zodiac Spires, etc, etc. I’m a big fan of the [...]
Jim. How far are those graves from the trailhead?

Do you have one that you have explored before and would recommend? We may not get a chance to take a trip like this again so I want to make the most of it. This range is hard to get good [...]

Climbing and Scrambling in the Gore Range: 2 months, 2 weeks ago · ViewGetting deep into pretty much any valley in the northern two-thirds of the range will satisfy your requirements. Sorry for the slow delay…there’s not much activity in the winter.

Climbing and Scrambling in the Gore Range: 6 months ago · ViewHello, A buddy and I stayed the night at the Deluge Lake Cabin this past weekend and had a blast (it snowed 1′+ on us and the winds were ferocious on Sat. night)! I was wondering about any other cabins any of you know about that reside in the Gorey Gores. I think I found [...]
Hi Abe,
I’m not sure how comfy you like your cabins, but there is an old (110+ years) mining cabin up on Keller Mountain that the owners – the Cooper family – have always allowed others to use. See http://www.sgrhoa.net/cooper.htm for a bit of information. Let me know if it is of interest to you.
Best wishes,

Small world! Abe and I chatted while working out at the Stapleton Rec Center, not knowing who each other is – then we made the curious connection that we have read each other’s posts here.
Also, this Wednesday evening, John Fielder will give a Gore Range presentation at the Silverthorne Town Center, which includes photos of his one week trip in 2010 up Black Creek. It’s to benefit Friends of Eagles Nest Wilderness. ($15)
Small world indeed! Seriously what are the chances of that happening haha.
I really wish I could make it out Bill because I bet this dude is really interesting but gettin out to Silverthorne just for the evening might be a little tough. If you go, you should tell him to visit closer to home and I’m sure he could fill it up around here. Thanks for the invitation though and hope to see you out in the Gorey Gores!!
