Probably a great day to be on the Smith river, about 20 miles in.Quote:

Ehh, I will always love my time living on the Front Range but don't really see myself traveling back there to hike anytime soon outside of high alpine in the IPW. Is that totally having trains run on it now too?

City of Rocks in southern Idaho is a cool place if you've never been there. Maybe 6 hours away? Forecast looks reasonably warm next week. I've mostly climbed there but there's hiking there and at nearby Castle Rock.Quote:

City of Rocks is pretty sick. Even if not climbing for real, there are tons of fun rocks to scramble up without gear or much risk. There are some hot springs nearby and the neighboring Castle Rocks state park offers more hiking.Quote:

Some pretty nice sites in the park, but if full there's lots of BLM land nearby...or we were able to poach a site from someone who had clearly already left but their placard still showed time left on the reservation (but it was wildfire season so the air was probably sending a lot of people home early).
That sheep look hungover and been smoking too many cigs. Montana hard life
Beautiful pics, Swimmy.

edit: ugh, seeing this on a big screen reminds me how much I hate the iphone's image sharpening.
Was still fun ride though! Usually when driving to see the mother-in-law in portland I get a Post Canyon shuttle drop on the way, but yesterday opted for pedaling Syncline instead as it wasn't blown out yet. Fun stuff on that side of the river, bit of wildflowers still blooming, "Little Moab" does in fact kinda feel like riding Porcupine Rim.
I counted 8 rams. That one was definitely the elder.Quote:

I do this for fun but really stoked to get this kind of recognition.
As I recall it's about 5 hrs from JH so maybe more like 7+ from there. I bet it's still really quiet out there and cool nights are a plus. It can get fucking brutally hot there come summah.Quote:

I think we'd all look a little haggard if we spent 24/7 outside chewing on rocks.

Stoked for you, Swimmy!
Right on. Long live print journalism. I don't even live in Bozo but never miss an issue of OB.Quote:

Completed the Helena Ridge Challenge yesterday evening and today with my wife and friends. Started at Eddye McClure East Trailhead and ended our hike at the Blackfoot Brewery for our free beer (plus a couple more lol). Just under 20 miles according to GPS. Not hard but not nothin'. Glad to get it done, had a great time. Kind of made me look at the south hills trails from a different perspective.

I’ve been talking about a four-ridge ride for years, and then Eddye was added to the system. Still never got around to it. Big props to Tim @ BFRB for making it a thing and getting us out to finally do it. We knocked off one route, but I have a couple more in mind.
