MTB TR: Buffalo Creek, CO

[KneeDeep]

Jason, Brian and I hit Buffalo Creek yesterday- despite all the cars in the parking lot (almost all of which had a Yeti on top), the place seemed virtually deserted. This trail network just southwest of Denver is worth the trip out here by itself- the riding is absolutely epic. With wheels down before 9:00, it was nice and cool for virtually the entire ride. We ended up doing about 25 miles, around 3k vert of climbing. Here are a few pictures from when we managed to stop for a minute or two.



Jason likes to make the climbs tougher by riding a wheelie the whole way up:





Finally at the "top" of Shinglemill, we head down the CO Trail:





Stopping here and there to play on the giant boulders. Jason drops it like it's hot with Brian waiting for the carnage:





If only this picture had audio.... because Jason was absolutely hauling a$$ when he went by me:

See you at the car:

The 'scape is crazy there...was there fire destruction in that area, or some infestation, or whatnot? Some of the partial trunks look like fire aftermath...just wild.

Yep, there was a huge wildfire back in '03 that destroyed 150,000+ acres.
