TR: Riding Washington Gulch to Slate River (15 July 2009)
(Last Updated On: July 24, 2009)
his TR is over a week belated. But, I figure I it’s still a worthy TR just for some of the pictures!
Heather and I headed out on another ride I’ve never done before, although a popular CB ride by locals. We rode up Washington Gulch road and then into the Slate River valley road. The total ride time, not including stops, was about 2 and 1/2 hours.
Looking back down valley while heading up Washington Gulch.
While climbing, the views got even better. Mt. Crested Butte in the distance.
The backside of Gothic mountain with Mt. CB in the distance again.
This is a worthy ride for locals and tourists alike, if only just for the spectacular views, which are always better enjoyed by bike than car 🙂
