We are very excited to be hosting the HEX Off-Road Expedition outside of Lyons, Colorado to the USAF T-33 plane crash site on Bunce School Road. Come enjoy the camaraderie, meet other fine folks that have served and get plugged into a fun organization!
The ride is open to anyone that wants to join us, as long as you have your own vehicle, side by side, ATV, motorcycle, etc. Participation is 100% AT YOUR OWN RISK. The trail is moderate to difficult depending on the weather. Off road vehicles should have a pretty decent ground clearing.

The group will hit the trail around 9:30 AM once all registered groups are checked in. Participants are encouraged to navigate at their own pace and comfort level. Bring your own lunch!
A little history on the site: “On June 27th, 1965, United States Air Force Major Currie and 1st Lieutenant Darby veered from their flight path in a Lockheed Martin T-33 trainer jet and crashed into the mountainside in the Arapaho National Forest. Both crew members lost their lives. Much of the plane is scattered about the mountainside, serving as a memorial for them. This off-road trail takes you within walking distance of the somber scene also known as “The Bunce School Road Plane Crash.”
* Here is a great video of this trail on YouTube. Some of the best footage that shows the more difficult type of terrain can be found around the 7 min mark.
Our goal is to develop and organize events that provide an atmosphere of camaraderie and fellowship among our participants.
Our mission is to help create meaningful relationships that improve morale and promote healing.
