This is an amazing adventure! Did the whole loop (Baker Creek, Osberg Ridge and finished on Alden Gulch) on a perfect day which was cool, breezy with some rain the night before. When I ride with my wife, she always stops to take pictures of flowers, today, and for the first time - I did too, pretty amazing. The burned out forest next to the bright flowers was pretty spectacular and the riding was excellent. A lot of good trailbuilding on display here! Highly recommend, Alden Gulch wasn't very black, I'd say the whole thing is blue, the climbs and overall elevation did zap our strength pretty good.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
