I'm heading to Boulder today, so I did some map research and realized that I could get this hash on the way by taking an old mountain pass from Fraser to Nederland. Hopefully this will turn out to be a much easier hash than the last two days, as it appears to be less than 500 feet from the road it's near.

Getting to the hash was not overly complicated, I just had to do a few miles of riding on unmaintained forest service roads. The hash was located in the woods, about 500 feet from the road. I then rode to CR-80, which is the road which runs from Fraser to Nederland (FR 149). However, a sign near the beginning of the road informed me that a tunnel collapse now prevents travel to Nederland. I did some research later and discovered that Needle's Eye Tunnel has been caved in since 1990. This had happened in the past as well, but in a 1990 attempt to reopen the tunnel, a worker was killed and the efforts were stopped. Still, a cool road and spot/successful hash.

Location

A few miles NE of Fraser, CO, in the Arapaho National Forest.

Participants

Topbun

Plans

I'm heading to Boulder today, so I did some map research and realized that I could get this hash on the way by taking an old mountain pass from Fraser to Nederland. Hopefully this will turn out to be a much easier hash than the last two days, as it appears to be less than 500 feet from the road it's near.

Expedition

Getting to the hash was not overly complicated, I just had to do a few miles of riding on unmaintained forest service roads. The hash was located in the woods, about 500 feet from the road. I then rode to CR-80, which is the road which runs from Fraser to Nederland (FR 149). However, a sign near the beginning of the road informed me that a tunnel collapse now prevents travel to Nederland. I did some research later and discovered that Needle's Eye Tunnel has been caved in since 1990. This had happened in the past as well, but in a 1990 attempt to reopen the tunnel, a worker was killed and the efforts were stopped. Still, a cool road and spot/successful hash.

The road is smooth and scenic here, 500 ft. from the hash.

Photos

  • Walking through the forest to the hash point.

  • The hash point in a grove of trees.

  • A fallen tree near the hash.

  • Obligatory head shot.

  • A clearing next to the hash.

  • Some bones near the hash.

  • GPS information/proof.
