Madison Creek Falls is located within Olympic National Park near the Elwha River, west of Port Angeles, Washington. A very short hike to a mossy maple and cedar lined grotto and bam, there is the 50 foot Madison Creek Falls. There is almost...
Olympic Discovery Trail Spruce Railroad
As I said in a previous post, the Olympic Discovery Trail is long. We plan to break it into sections and explore them all since we have time. The other day we drove out to Lake Crescent and rode...
Fort Stevens Park Ride
Fort Stevens State Park has a really nice network of paved paths with a short section of trail. We camped in the park and took one morning to ride around and explore. This was more of a meandering ride...
Hoover Dam Ride
With a short stopover in Boulder City, NV, I took the chance to ride the Railroad Grade out to Hoover Dam and back again. We’ve done this ride a couple times before and the awe and grandeur of the...
Vulture Peak Gravel Ride

Misc Gila National Forest
We’re nearing the end of our time around Silver City and I realized I missed a couple days of pics. None of these look terribly different then all the other photos. We’ve been above 6000′ for over a month...
Knights Bridge and CDT Exploring
Not every ride plan works. This time Derek had created a loop that ended up not working. BUT, that’s how life goes so you pivot. The ride started out on Knights Bridge dirt/sand road that isn’t far from where...
