Overwich part two.

This is a bad pano of the Overwich falls, which is situated right at the crux of two mountain ranges and a scree field.


"I will refrain from using over-used words to describe this ride"
This was an epic ride, it was totally awesome. The trails hit every type of terrain you could imagine, from twisty rutted rock filled to fast smooth switchbacks. We rode through burned out forests covered in mountain wildflowers to dense alpine forests. And plenty of narrow single tracks along steep mountain sides. This is some wild country.

Bass Creek

Hmm, this is not good, three PhDs trying to fix brakes.

The Corvallis Hill

On the way up the Corvallis Hill.
This is one of the few paved climbs in the area, and though it doesn't look too bad
from the picture, it is exposed, fairly steep in sections, with longish ascents.
The fun part is going down ~1200 feet in just a few miles, but watch out for the deer!

Porcupine Saddle off Lost Trail

Great 20 mile ride off the Lost Trail pass.
Mostly technical single track with an awsome descent down the mountain starting at 8000 feet and dropping to ~4500 feet.
One of these days I'll get some pictures of the really crazy stuff....

Thursday Night Ride: Lost Horse Observation


Last night's ride was 7.5 miles up and 2.5 miles down with approximately 1700 feet elevation gain. Fantastic views into the Bitterroots and Idaho. Super steep descent and fun, but too short, single track.

Sorry, no pictures of the descent, I was too busy gripping the brakes and dodging rocks!
