    Those water holes are not very deep, I have had stock XJ's run through them easy, just got to take it slow, there is always rocks in all those puddles that snag shock mount and diffs. Those are two of my favorite trails.

    SO you didn't go through the big water crossing (the water at the top of the hill?)

    Highest it has been is like 3 feet.




    Yeah we were solo, so we didn't touch Coney. The puddles ended up not being too bad, but you are right about the rocks.

    I'd like to do Coney sometime, but St. Vrain is about the rocky'est I want to do until I get some sliders and better armor lol.

    Rocker guards definitely help but most of Coney is not that bad, the roughest part is the start off of Middle St Vrain, big hill, some rocks, and ruts. Right before the BIG lake (not really a lake more like a really wide creek) is a little rock garden area. Once your through the water it is mellow. I have camped up there at the top, right near the creek. Beautiful area and there is this awesome hiking trail at the top that you can walk.

    Last time I was there we had a small group (4-5) out of town hikers walking up the Jeep Trail and made some snide remarks about us disturbing their peace as we drove by them as they had to wait for us to get through a narrow section. One of the members in our group decided to talk to them, with in a few short angry bursts from them we realized that they cant read the hiking trail sign at the start of Camp Dick. We informed them that "they" were not on the correct hiking trail that was a click to the north of the Jeep road. They then apologized and went back down the trail.

    "The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
