I'm guessing getting there at the BCOD (butt crack of dawn) would be a good idea, have a feeling that there area a lot of "stir crazy" riders that can't wait to get back out there!
Muahhahha.... I got sick (cough, cough) today and hit the trails from the Rainbow Falls parking. WHEEEEEEEEEE!!! We'll prolly see you up there on the north end of Rampart on Sunday (early, like Rodzilla says).
Horse Creek Cafe is gone. Hopefully, they'll rebuild. I'll take some pictures and post 'em next time we drive by there. The Ruby Creek trail down to the Horse Creek Cafe is closed and so is the nearby Trout Creek trail. I hear rumors that those two trails may be somewhat re-routed so that they can be re-opened in the future. I'm DEFINITELY planning to be a lot more active in volunteering with trail maintenance and such.
Ahh...Bear Creek. Love that trail. Great test of your skills. I only do it once a year and every year I swear I will never do it again. Although it seems to be getting easier as years go buy.
688 (to Horse Creek) and 649 (to Trout Creek) are the only trails that are closed. You can go as far south as 677 will take you and that is it. I would say 95% of Rampart is open. Lots of riding to catch up on.
