Up on Genesee Mountain…………….

I had intended to ride further today. As I was pedaling along something caught my eye. A detour was in order. Sometimes it’s nice just to get out. Today was one of those days.

January


“At that date (1867) freight for Georgetown arrived behind six horses or oxen who pulled the wagon from Denver over roads no longer traveled now or even known to most people ---- up Golden Gate, through Central City and over Yankee Hill into Fall River. This mountain trip alone consumed a week.” from My Rocky Mountain Valley. Via wagon train pg. 212. Hamlin Gulch











X- Training Echo Hills 12-30-2009

A good place to shuttle go for an XC ride or snowshoe.
We put together an XC ride here last summer figured it would be a good place to try out those snowshoes that I bought last year and never use. Not much snow but enough. Forgot to turn on the gps I wanted to see if my hand drawn routes were close
The old freehand map
START (actually the finish on the map)
The Trail was hard to follow but there were a few clues

Fortunately the deer use the trail too

All in all a good route and workout
