Lizardhead Pass Boondocking Rally - June 22-24, 2007
Escape the summer heat in the beautiful Colorado mountains. Lizardhead pass is at 10,200' elevation on Hwy 145 about 12 miles south of Telluride, CO. The highway is very good with some sections of 4-6% grades. The parking area is a dirt and grass meadow on the east side of the highway right at the top of the pass. See picture below.
This boondocking rally will be an opportunity to test your stand alone capabilities. There will be no hookups, no restrooms, no picnic tables, no paved parking pads.
Bring your mountain bikes as there is the excellent 6 mile Galloping Goose Trail which starts at the pass and the ride is all downhill ending at the Matterhorn campground. We will need to spot a truck or two at the end to bring our bikes back up. Bring some firewood, card tables and chairs. Happy hours every evening. Potluck dinner TBD.
