Squaw Pass Site

[hip55]

I stopped by there the other day on my way to Mount Evans to see what I could see -

A rock outcrop where bottles get shot -



What's left of a car -



it's door -



Getting there -

I climbed the east entry in my 4X4 truck and recommend that you only attempt entering the site this way if you have the same.

I left the area on the road that comes out (or starts) right above Echo Mtn- it's rough but doable in a 2 wheel drive truck or car.

Condition -

The site needs a cleanup big time. I bet a group could rake up enough casings to fill a dumpster. There is some trash, but not that much really.

Shooting -

Lots of good backstop (the mountain) to shoot against. Wide enough for a group but the downrange distance is not very far (when shooting against the hill).

FROM DENVER - take I-70 to Evergreen Parkway, then turn right on Squaw Pass Road -

From I-70 West of Idaho Springs -

Take the road off of I-70 that goes to Mt. Evans (Squaw Pass Road).

Went today, shot for a few hours, cleaned up a lot of brass and shotgun hulls. Not a bad little spot. Not a lot for distance shooting but I was shooting the AR, shotty and the XDm 9mm.
