I had some free time over this last summer to do a little exploring. I found out there was a way to the top of Peak 8 at Breckenridge.

I can't remember but I think it was late September. There was a dusting of snow the night before at elevation. Top of Peak 8 is 13,000 ish feet from what I remember. The next day I hit a storm on a different mountain. I'll see if I can find those pics and add them here.
 
Thx for posting the photos! Moving to Evergreen, CO in Sep. and Breck, Red Cone, and Radical Hill are all in the neighborhood. You got me amped!!:yup:

Theres snow on the ground most of the year at those elevations haha. Hiked a 14ner in August and had a snowball fight at the top. Its Colorado. :cheesy:

We re-named Radical Hill to Not-so-Radical Hill. It's a good drive but not that bad. It really isn't that tippy honestly. I thought Red Cone was a much more tippy technical trail then Radical hill IMHO. It is still a fun area and trail.

This is looking down Radical Hill from close to the start. Great trails for sure!

Oh boy, Red Cone Pass is a trail best done when it's dry. Here it is nicely done in light snow and rain. The longer wheelbase of the JKU provides a little extra comfort but you gotta be ready to add some skinny pedal if the rear decides to lead. Most of the time it's a non-event, but every once in awhile...:eek:

Red Cone I found wasn't so bad at all, I may just have to go and do Websters Pass and Red Cone and Radical hill all again sometime.
