TR: Riding Washington Gulch to Slate River (15 July 2009)

(Last Updated On: )

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.

While climbing, the views got even better. Mt. Crested Butte in the distance.

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 🙂
