Thursday: Double helping of Kitsuma

Kitsuma was in sweet shape. The only thing missing was a hot meal waiting for us in the picnic area at the end of the ride. I thought G had called ahead and worked something out.
The views as always were spectacular, although a bit lush this time of year.
The gate at the top of old Hwy 70 had been painted, extended, and had some text added. The strange thing was that there was nothing posted from the bottom, just this at the top. We figured it was legal to ride up from the bottom, just not down from the top.
G fixed that. Note that bikes are allowed in this shot:
Some shots from the trail: G on one of the last pitches up to the top.At the bottom of the steep stuff.What a fun trail. Ridge line riding.A little Rhody bloomage going off.
Gaston and Layla will have to id this wild flower for me when they return from Alaska. It was growing on the side of the road on the way up old Hwy 70.

What a nice after work double.
