Since it’s getting into the 100’s in Fruita again I headed up to Grand Mesa for coolness and adventure
I started here
I started my day in Collbran then went North and East from there
Loamy little two-track thru the woods. Looks more like Idaho than the western desert of Colorado
I rode a loamy little two-track ATV trail up to the boundary between the Grand Mesa and White River forests
Up on the border-lands. Didn’t have to move the bike to get two pixOn the border-landsAt a cross-roads up on Grand Mesa (I took the road less traveled. It made all the difference)
I didn’t see but one person and a half-dozen cows the whole day. It looked as though the trails had not been used by ATV’s for awhile. Only cow and horse feet prints marked the soft earth
This trail is most used by animals with hooves. Apparently Cows like ATV trails tooNice little pond on the MesaIt might look small, but the top is more than 10,000 feet above sea level
