TR: Whitepine (14 Aug 2010)

Posted by – August 25, 2010

I have more photos to share from Newfoundland. But, first, I wanted to post some photos from a ride we did before I left. The Whitepine ride is a quality ride all-around. Though the trailhead as a bit over an hour from Crested Butte, the drive is worth it, especially for the views.

The ride begins on a fairly steep road.

The road takes us to the single track.

Except most of it’s hike-a-bike.

With a bit of riding.

But, as the up goes up, the views get better and better. Tomichi Pass.

The trail ends at the Whitepine campground which is where we camped for the night.

The next day, we headed out to ride near Marshall Pass!
