Camping and hiking Corkscrew Gulch

Let's go camping!
This pic is from about 1 mile up Corkscrew Pass off Red Mountain Pass south of Ouray. There is primitive camping (car camping) in the trees along the road. No facilities available. We can hike on up the road from camp and off to any of many side adventures all offering astounding views. Or we can drive up further and explore the other side of the pass. The road is advertised as an "easy" 4-wheel drive road". I did find that first mile to be a bit challenging with sharp rocks, pot holes, ruts, and berms to negotiate. I didn't scout all the way to the pass but the road did get better once I got out of the initial forest.

Each person will be fully responsible for their own hiking and camping gear/food/water. I will attempt to coordinate between participants earlier that week but please don't assume something will be available for your use.

Newbies are welcome. I can talk with you before hand if you are wondering about your gear or how it all works.

You are welcome to join us for a day hike only or camp a different set of nights. Just let me know so we know what to expect.

I will be leaving from Grand Junction and have 4-wheel capability. I can definitely take one other and possibly 2 depending on how much gear we all have. I will try to coordinate vehicles so everyone can get to camp safely.

Hoping to get out of the heat and meet some new hiking and camping friends!!!
