We will enjoy the newly-opened (July 2022) southern section of trail and discuss the Mosquito Fault, which is probably the most active fault in Colorado. We will visit its glassy fault rocks and quartz-encrusted breccias in 10 Mile Canyon as it heads toward Frisco. We will meet at the bike bridge over Rte 91, 3.3 miles south of Copper Mountain at 9 am and end at the I-70 kayak parking lot on the west side of Frisco at noon.
