My little trip today...

Starts high on the road headed to the pass.



A bit of steep snow to surmount.



A bit of hike-a-bike right out of the gate.



A bit of this was rideable.



Some of this was rideable.



Hmmm... this... not so much.



Mmmm... yeah. None of this was rideable.



Hey! A little more rideable stuff.



From here down... almost ALL rideable. :cool:



Still some turns to be had on the Tuning Fork?



Ahhh... Herman Gulch. Only one endo. Lots of roots. Lots of brake-burning DH. Oh so fine...



High point was rumored to be 13,300. It sure FELT like it could've been. :D

Is this one of those pictures that doesn't look as bad as it really is? That is, if you're going DOWN it.

Yah - most of the rocks you see in the trail were big AND loose... and the consequences of going over the edge (the slope was probably 45*) into the talus would dissuade most mortals from trying to ride down it...

We, of course, had to hike UP it. :D

Edit: Here's a photo of that section from a distance... you can see it cutting across the steep mountain on the right side of the pic.
