| no partners | | | After riding my favorite TNF loop, 71-609-236, I decided to take a side trip onto FS2731. The initial descent is a doozy! But soon the road turns into a lovely jaunt across the saddle into the forest to the backside base of Greenback Mountain. This peak had been on my list for a minute or two and I had decided it was time to conquer it. I will say that riding boots are not the preferred footwear for this particular ascent but we make do with what we have on hand at the time! Once I found a suitable place to leave my scooter and gear, I began climbing a well defined game trail up the mountain until it disappeared. The climb is only .4 miles as the crow flies but it is a steep one! The growth around the top rock face is almost impossible to break through in areas and I became happy that I had arrived in full riding gear for this adventure. I walked the edge of the bold rock face people recognize from the surrounding areas from north to south along the edge of the tippy top. Once at the southern end I found the elusive ancient ruin and sat to have my lunch while soaking in its details and drooling over the views! I like to refer to TNF as my Disney Land and the views from Greenback are a prime example of why. |
