A fun mountain bike ride on a beautiful summer day. A coyote barked at me like a dog! Frogs ribbeted in all the ponds. The thunderclouds built up and dripped on me a little, but there was no thunder and lightning, and I didn't really get wet. The irises are still in bloom up there, although they have dried up in the lower elevations. The entire ride is pretty much above 9,000 feet. I went from the 260 sledding hill trailhead to just past the West Baldy trailhead. Next week I will start at Big Lake and ride toward W. Baldy TH.

At W. Baldy trailhead the trail also links to the West Fork Trail, going down to Greer. Then at Colter Reservoir, you can link to the East Fork Trail, also going down to Greer.

Beyond Big Lake, the RR grade continues, but not as a designated trail. It is incorporated into parts of the Indian Springs Trail and the Thompson Trail. I believe a determined person could make their way along it southward, all the way to Maverick! I have ridden parts of it by Thompson trail, going far past the trail designation.
