This was a plan that Aaron and I put together in the fall and finally made come to reality. I did a hut trip in the area last season and was fairly comfortable with the commitment.
The Start:
Aaron and I drove up separately and met at Copper to caravan to drop off my car in Red cliff. We found a road that looked like it was the right one and dropped off the car. No signs made me a little leery of getting a parking ticket or towed or something like that. But it was such a small, sleepy mountain town that I figured that paranoia was not justified. After leaving a note on the car we headed off to Vail Pass trailhead.
When we told the Parks and Rec employee what our plan was, she told us "we don't do overnight parking.", I countered with a calm explanation that I talked to the White River and Holy Cross guys and had the green light. After hearing that she said, "Oh, the overnight parking is just to the right over there."
