Over Hill, Over Dale - Del Norte

Tagged:

Just a quick entry because I don't have much time in the library in Del Norte, Colorado. We had a glorious ride over Marshall Pass from Salida, then down to Sargents. It was so beautiful up there, right near timberline.

Along US 50 we stopped at a ranch to ask if they would let us camp - and they set us up in a hunter's cabin, complete with running water and a *hot* shower! It was a delight.

Then on over to Old Cochetopa Pass, which was a hard, hot climb, but another beautiful day. We stayed in Luder's Creek campground and could have stayed for days - could be the nicest campground we'll see.

Today we rode over Carnero Pass toward La Garita and then found some really funky doubletrack to ride into Del Norte on. Could it really be the planned Great Divide route? We don't think so. But it was a lot of fun. Real Mountain Biking.

All are well!
