June 21st - Summer Solstice






To celebrate the true beginning of summer, we decided to ride the 401 trail in Crested Butte. Alison told us this was her favorite trail, so we decided to check it out. Rob and I both agree, it was the coolest ride we've ever done. The trail began with a long, grueling 7 mile climb on forest service roads and tight singletrack dotted with snow patches. The following 7 miles contained the most epic singletrack we're ever seen. Wildflowers up to your hips, amazing views and ribbons of singletrack etched into the side of the mountain, and outstanding views.

After the ride we headed into CB to do some laundry and then headed back to Lake Irwin to have dinner. Post dinner, Rob went for a paddle on the Lake. A great day, indeed!
