It's not Mt Wilson and your helmetless friend would probably kill himself in that place. I wouldn't want to be responsible for that.mtnbrider said:
He wears his helmet on the trail, just not urban riding (he's a dumbass).
Is it in CA?

I like them.

This is good place to start. Check from station to station, there is all kinds of trail information. Search each local site and if you have questions, give the station a call, sometimes you can find a ranger that knows what he/she's talkin about.
When you find the goods make sure you don't ride all the trails in the rain and skid and blow out all the corners. Otherwise Clean might wait at the trailhead and kill you in the face.

Nah - I just thought that there were usually links.
Rocks good.

Nah, that trail would do a good job of killing about 98% of the denizens here well enough on its own.Skookum said:
Those Eastern rocks are definitely a different flavor. When wet, they are ten times more slippery than sandstone is and that makes for some very difficult riding. I've only ridden one place out West that had even a tinge of Eastern feel. A friend on that particular ride with me was from PA and he agreed that it was as Eastern as the West can get. Only one hint, it's one of the most unique ranges in the Rocky Mountains.BikeGeek said:
It's in the Western US. When you make the quantum leap from 98% to 2%, PM me and I'll tell you where it is.mtnbrider said:
Come one MrMisterClean said:
Please
I'm heading down to Moab and Bootleg next month. I would love to check out those rocks as well
I do miss the rocks of State College. I think I'll have to take an extended weekend this summer to get reacquainted.BikeGeek said:
Yippee! Rocks!

Pinyon-Juniper Woodland
In the southern Rocky Mountains, a transition occurs between about 1,800 and 2,500 meters, where plains communities are accompanied by pinyon pines (Fig. 2). Mexican pinyons and singleleaf pinyons are found in western Utah, alligator junipers and Rocky Mountain junipers grow to the south, and Utah junipers grow to the north. Many shrubs and grasses of the plains occupy the gaps between tree outcrops. Heavy livestock grazing is associated with the spread of junipers (by reducing competition from grasses), and fire suppression is partly responsible for their continued dominance (West et al. 1975).
Durango area?
The range I was referring to is not in the photo I posted. It was just a reference to the Eastern type terrain that many think is not available in the West.johnbryanpeters said:

The photo may or may not be near Durango, though your research was impressive. The Colorado Plateau is huge, isn't it?
Drugs, that's where I draw the line.Skookum said:Yippee! Rocks!
on many levels
Yes. I find that the Rockies have twenty ranges in Wyoming alone...MisterClean said:
Key word, "unique". It has one major geographical distinction the other ranges don't have, other than location, name, etc.johnbryanpeters said:
Yaahhh... The next place I'd look is McPhee's Basin and Plain. Or maybe a bedrock geology map would be a good start.
OK, I'm going to devise teasers for you on the Champlain thrust.
