Carnage Canyon, or Carnage BV as it is sometimes referred too, is an extreme rock crawling trail. Though it is less than a mile long, this trail will take the majority of the day to complete depending on the group size and the trail repairs needed. It is impossible to get through without a winch and a minimum of 37” tires. Lockers are required and vehicle damage is almost a certainty. This route features huge boulders, daunting waterfall climbs, and a V-Notch obstacle that pushes most vehicles onto their sides. This trail should not be attempted if you do not meet the posted requirements at the trailhead. Vehicle requirements: 2 lockers, winch, 30″ tires, role cage, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, spare tire. The Colorado Rock Hoppers will complete a vehcile check at the trailhead.
MEET-UP LOCATION: Carnage Canyon Trailhead
8:00am-3:00PM: MOUNT ANTERO 4x4 RIDE
CROSSOVER EVENT with MTB BIKE:

Starting low in the valley, the trail climbs through Conifer forests and Aspen groves before continuing above treeline up 9 spectacular switchbacks that will leave you wondering how anyone could have built a road up the side of the mountain. Once up the lower switchbacks the views of Cronin Peak (13,802′) and the Baldwin Valley below are panoramic. The upper switchbacks take you near the summit of Mount Antero to an elevation of 13,800′. The views of the Arkansas River Valley here are amazing and the Mount Antero Summit is only 500′ away should you choose to bag a 14er. The downhill mountain bike section begins from this point. The Little Browns singletrack allows experienced riders the opportunity to descend into the Arkansas Valley below. The trail will connect with the Colorado Trail and then north to Mt.

OFF ROADING
8:00am-3:00PM: ROCK CRAWLING At CARNAGE CANYON
Carnage Canyon, or Carnage BV as it is sometimes referred too, is an extreme rock crawling trail. Though it is less than a mile long, this trail will take the majority of the day to complete depending on the group size and the trail repairs needed. It is impossible to get through without a winch and a minimum of 37” tires. Lockers are required and vehicle damage is almost a certainty. This route features huge boulders, daunting waterfall climbs, and a V-Notch obstacle that pushes most vehicles onto their sides. This trail should not be attempted if you do not meet the posted requirements at the trailhead. Vehicle requirements: 2 lockers, winch, 30″ tires, role cage, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, spare tire. The Colorado Rock Hoppers will complete a vehcile check at the trailhead.

9:00am-12:00pm VITAMIN B MTN BIKE RIDE
With over 6 miles of of flow and hard technical moves, Vitamin B is quite simply one of the best trails I have ever ridden. In fact, if some evil spell was cast on me, and I was only allowed to ride one trail every day for the rest of my life, it just might be it. That being said, the Vitamin B isn’t for the faint of heart. It weaves in and among the granite outcroppings that litter the Fourmile area. To try to explain all of the features on this trail would be wonderful, but it would take far too long, but you can expect granite slabs, ledge drops, and segments of fast flow followed by slow tech. For expert riders, this trail has it all!

All anglers MUST have a valid Colorado Fishing License.
Head to Head-
The final round will be a head to head 2 hour long float fishing competition. Position in the boat (front or back) will be determined by the highest scoring angler from round 1 and 2. They will pick front or back for the first hour of the competition, then at the one hour mark positions in the boat will be switched. Each angler will spend one hour in the front of the boat and one hour in the back of the boat. The angler in the front of the boat will have the right to ask the guide to fish one side of the river or the other, when practical and safe as determined by the guide. An anglers will be done fishing at the point that they lose their 6th fly. If the angler in the front of the boat loses all 6 flies, he/she no longer reserves the right to direct the guide as to which side of the river the boat will be on. In this situation there will be no position switch, but the angler in the back of the boat can now direct the guide until the boat reaches the take out or the maximum time allotted is used. Each fish successfully brought into the boat that is hooked in the mouth area, and not foul hooked will be counted as 1 point. Each angler will be given the opportunity to measure one and ONLY ONE fish that they catch and each inch will be 1 point. All fish must be returned to the water alive and in good condition. Any fish that dies in the process of the competition will be a 5 point deduction and the fish must be kept and utilized by the angler. Anglers must boat their own fish, without the assistance of the guide or other angler. The guide will be considered the judge and will keep track of successfully caught fish and responsible for measuring one fish per angler, when the angler decides to record a measurement. At the conclusion of the 2 hours of fishing core will no longer be kept and the boat will proceed to the take-out at Fisherman’s Bridge. The angler with the highest point score will be the winner.
