Cheyenne Canon

Unlike certain so-called outdoor mecca type places up north, the good folks here in Springs Parks and Rec have been busting their tails to get Cheyenne Canon park back open.  Here's a shot of the drive in, which the dog took because I was busy driving:

They have a grand opening shindig scheduled for January 4, 2014, but they unlocked the gates to the public yesterday.  KRDO did a story on the opening, and you can see me and the dog in the video.

All of the Canon is open, so it looks like the CRUD hill climbs will once again head over there.  Drove back down Gold Camp road to check things out.  The entire dirt road is much smoother than it used to be.  The parking lot for Cap't Jacks is now closed, and a pretty big birm has been placed between the road and the parking lot.  Captain Jack's is closed.  My dog can't read, so she went to check things out.  Saw a mountain biker come down the trail (mountain bikers can't read, either) and he said the trail is in decent shape.  Hopefully they open this section soon.

They better open it soon, because near the "trail closed" sign I found this sign.  Don't want to go pissing off any Fight Club type folks.

At the upper parking lot of the Canon, there is nothing suggesting that you can't run/hike/ride up High Drive.
