Paddlenbike and I took a day off work the other day to do some exploring offroad. My wife is home with both kids so I took the 3 year old with me to give Mom a break.
I had been to the area in the past exploring but it was awhile ago and there was much to be seen. We both recently have been messing around with Backcountry Navigator so we looked at the maps and set off.
It's not far from home, the trailhead is 65 miles from my front door is at about 5,550 feet elevation. We read some stuff on the internet about the area but once we aired down we saw this sign and decided to just start driving.
Our first stop was Eagle Lake. The trail started off as nice and graded and got rockier with more obstacles as we progressed. There was one very advanced section that we bypassed. The scraped rocks and oil spills we enough to steer us to the bypass.
