- Wildlife: just a toad
- Whoops, Yikes, and Oh Sheets: a bit clumsy from the heat, one little flop while stopped
Notes: It was upper 80's inland, so we decided to head closer to the ocean for a cooler ride. I've had this place on my list for quite a while and was happy to get here for the first time. Although not as cool as I would have hoped, it was a very challenging and fun place to ride! Lot's of fun boulder climbs and slick rock. Awesome man-made bridges ala Bradbury were excellent. There is a "famous" 12-mile loop here, but a portion of it uses the road...so not good when riding with four legged fur face. I chose a remote trailhead and stuck to the inner woods loop...some of which was not on the map. The ride pretty much kicked my ass! Long drive to get here, but I would definitely attempt other areas of the park when up for a challenge.
Tidbits: this place could just as well be called "Bouldergame"
Happy Trails,
OMMB
