I have been wanting to check out the new section of the Black Canyon Trail from the Black Canyon City trail head and this weekend I finally made it.
Once on the trail we decided push on past the out and back do the whole package, a 24 mile adventure which consists of the new BCT section and the Little Pan Loop. This also consists of four water crossings, a butt load of climbing, high pucker exposure and some of the sweetest single track I have ever had the privilege of riding. Combine all this with beer, burgers and some of the famous pie at the Rock Springs Cafe post ride and you have "the full meal deal".
At the first water crossing
The climbing begins
The parade up the trail
Three tiers of the trail in view
One of more than several series of switchbacks
Heading down
Tough wash crossing
Through the wash
Water crossing #2
On the switchback...
And into the drink
Open Range! (sorry, had to do that)
Conclusion
Stats
Thanks for looking!
