|   On the way to Taos... | lidarman
Oct 7, 2002 11:40 AM | | The monday morning photo essays are getting quite competitive for viewing attention. Jeeze, so many people doing excellent riding.
A little detour in Cuchara. No too many people pix since I was by myself.
This pic is on the way up some fat single track--or some really narrow jeep trail. |

| Singletrack coming back | lidarman
Oct 7, 2002 11:49 AM | | The decent down Baker Creek Trail was incredible. Much like many of the colorado epics in Fall (Monarch Crest, Kenosha Pass, Commando Run) with twisty, exposed single track with an aspen color show.
I had so much fun blasting down that I didn't photograph the decent.
Once again, looking back up the trail. |
| And the glory "bike against the sign" pic | lidarman
Oct 7, 2002 11:53 AM | | but the sign has a nice touch of verbage. |

Next summer we are downhilling the roughest road in colorado (near sand dunes)
was bummed durango was on fire when i was in Co. |
| It's easy to find | lidarman
Oct 8, 2002 8:43 AM | | In Cuchara, you leave town to the south and about a mile down the road is a park on the right called Spring Creek. Taking this trail up Dodgeton trail leads to spurs and the Indian Creek trail. You can take Indian creek to the right (north) for miles or go left and wind up at a junction that takes you to a compground or the cool singletrack of Baker Creek trail. The total loop is about 12 miles and 2500' climbing. |
