The Crest

A few weeks ago I had decided I wanted to get out and ride the Crest one last time before the weather changed, I wanted to ride it with the fall colors. We had planned to go on a Saturday but then a storm was in the forcast. We decided to go on Wednesday instead to beat the storm. The storm ended up coming in early and we couldn't go. The mountains got 18 inches of snow and I thought our (high elevation) riding was over for the season. Well....it warmed up and the snow melted. We were able to get out again. Just got to the top of Puke Hill

Silver Lake in the background(where my dad was after he dropped us off)

Can you see the mud caked to my tires? The trail was pretty good for the most part. There was just about 1 mile around the spine that was pretty muddy. That part was really tough to get through. I took a bad fall , slipping in the mud and falling flat on my back into a pile of snow.

Once we got down into Millcreek the colors were so pretty.

It was a good ride. It was pretty cold at times(especially riding down the road in Millcreek) and the snow and mud made it tough at times. However, I'm glad we were able to get out for one last high ride this season.
