Today I took a couple of hours to explore the long-ago XC routes above Capulin Snowplay area, as Marlene did earlier.  2nd gate is open and the entire parking lot has been plowed, thank you FS SRD Crystal and Kerry!  2.5m in/out to Las Huertas Canyon overlook(careful..).  Crispy cold, breezy, snow soft, good.  I found a good map of area trails on CalTopo.  Some climbing, kickers would be handy.  Care due to downed wood.  Pls care if alone, use map.  

There is a counterclockwise route starting at the end of the parking loop, but I went straight up above the tubing bowls and then chose to return, getting some sawweet turns in coming down below the power lines.  I think I will explore all the trails, east/west around Capulin soon, as I have never seen snow here and I may not ever again, same with you!  OMGdnss, our local tubers need to get up there!

KarenL would love this.  Working on getting a map out.  Hey, I even got to pull a truck out of Balsam Glade- Ha!  Bet Gendron
