I didn't get on the bike today so I decided to go explore these trails on foot. The blue climb up is steap! It makes other RV climbs seem small. I'm not sure I'll make that on my bike anytime soon (or ever), but I'll try with you all soon
we never ride blue uphill. it is the ejecto trail because all the climbing made the ride take an hour+ longer than planned.
out of pickell, ride the powerline trail to the base of white or a little farther to get to yellow, or even to the cush lot - it makes a nice warm-up before
the climbijng. over the saddle to red. the short ride is to the top of puke hill. or go all the way to the overlook at the south lot.
the switchbacks at the powerlines are very challenging, but very rideable. they are past the south dam.
