I just got back from my second trail ride. What a great experience here in Colorado. My Arctic Cat friends and one of their friends loaded up and drove about 90 minutes from my place. This trail was in the Pike National Forest near the little town of Jefferson, Colorado. It was an "Jeep" trail meaning we share the trail with on highway vehicles. I was on the only Can Am I saw today. Here is a little photo log:
I got to ride with a 87 Honda Fourtrax 350. Same owner the last 30 years, he bought it new. A vintage ATV for sure:
We saw mountain goats along the trail. Looks like I caught one of them at a bad time. Embarrassing.
We could see the Breckenridge Ski area after we crossed Georgia Pass. There are a lot of ATV trails in this area.
We took a lunch break at the Wapiti Mine Company office ruins. My friends say the old building collapsed last winter. The snow can get 10' deep here in the winter. It wouldn't be a great place to spend the winter, but people did.
Last but not least, we met another family out on the trail. They were riding everything from side by sides to dirt bikes. All together there were 5 Arctic Cats there. Herding cats. They take a family vacation in this area and ride everyday for a week. We had a wonderful chit-chat about ATVs and all that we had seen. You meet the nicest people on an ATV.
My second trail ride was a great as my first. I can't wait until the next opportunity.
