Spring Creek was great last week, but the easy road down on the Georgetown side (Saxon Mountain) was still a bit hairy with the boulders and one large rockslide blocking the road. We made it all the way though but the Saxon Mountain side gave me a little more concern than Spring Creek did, because I had the kids. FYI Spring Creek is a kidney puncher, just FYI. Lots and lots and lots of rocks. Not super hard other than a couple nice obstacles, but plan on some extra stops to take a leak.

I like the loop up around Camp Hale too - McCallister Gulch, Wearyman Creek, etc. I'm going to call in the morning to see if it's open all the way through as there are mixed reports online, but we're thinking about running that one on the way home from Vail in the morning. There is a good stretch on the North side of the loop that has a great watercrossing section, as Wearyman creek basically runs down the trail.

I also like the Bill Moore trail loop - but we start a bit further East at Red Elephant, run the Mill Creek loop if there is time, and then head up to the lake and follow Bill Moore down. Sounds like it's not open all the way to the lake yet though. Be sure to plan on time to stop at the Empire Hilton (a little shack you can camp in) and the kids love the Lewis Sweet Shop in Empire on the way back down.

I also agree - might as well get the two Charles Wells books if you plan on doing any jeeping. They are nice references. Also you can get the everytrail app for your phone and many of the Wells funtreks trail guides are available online for free too - you log into the website in advance and push them to your phone so you can keep track even when you're out of cell/network range. Traildamage.com and bushducks.com are also great sites for info.
