From camp we rode the super fun trails Limekiln and Speedway over to the Stone Quarry trail system. Stone Quarry stretches across canyon and high alpine desert lands with superb views. There, we rode Vision Quest, Window, Monster Slayer...
Penitente Canyon Trails
Day 3 of riding here in Del Norte, Colorado was a blast. Penitente Canyon Trails are just north of the town. This is an amazing Bureau of Land Management Recreation Area. The canyon got its name from Los Hermanos...
Middle Frisco Mountain Biking
Wow! Today’s ride was a beast. Middle Frisco Trail starts not far from where we are camped. We rode this as an out and back to Bennett Peak and IT WAS TOUGH. 16.4 miles with 3,404′ of climbing and...
Nicomodes Loop – Del Norte, CO
Our new spot in Del Norte, CO is drastically different than our last spot. We’re still boondocking at about 7800′ but it’s high desert without all the trees and a river. We are off on our own in a...
Quartz and Turkey
Quartz Meadow Ride With the sun shining brilliantly, we decided to ride from camp again. This time we headed out to the end of the road a bit past Quartz Meadow. The road really did just end above a...

Echo Basin Lollipop
Our time here in Mancos is nearing the end. BUT, we had one more ride to check off our list and it was mighty. I’ll call this the Echo Basin lollipop. This incredibly scenic gravel ride was 34 miles...
Stoner Mesa Singletrack
Rumor had it Stoner Mesa Trail was dry and rideable so we gave it a go. This trail is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. The community of Stoner has a population of maybe 6 people and is...
Red Arrow Ride
Every time I think we’ve seen the best views we’re going to, I’m corrected. Our mountain bike ride today wasn’t far distance wise, but it was hard. 16.4 miles with 3393′ of climbing. That elevation gain is really over...
