Sheep Creek Loop – Fairplay and the source of S Platte – Day 4 Last
Today’s riding was short and spent some time exploring as a tourist. The Sheep Creek Trail was listed online for mountain biking. But the trail became invisible and I was not interested in guess work. I was the only person in the area and it was very remote. Rest of the day I explored for the headwaters and source of the S Platte. The map took me up into this platte gulch near the continental divide. This abandoned mine was a surprise and it was near to tree line. No rideable terrain here so the mountain shots were taken on foot hiking up a bit.
Saw Alma for the first time, visited Como, and went far up the Mosquito Pass road to see what a summer ride attempt at the pass would look like. Very sleepy and very remote. Looks like fun for the next visit.
Next Vacation – Salida and their annual Fibark river event.
