I went to Highline Lake SP after biking. I thought it was close to the bike trailhead. It really isn't. No different from driving from the house. Thinking ahead to road biking 18 road from the house to the bike trailhead would be a nice ride. Riding out to Highline SP would also be a nice ride. Little traffic and farm country. Very calm at the lake making for some nice reflections.
Mountain biking at 18 road today. Good day for it as it was cool and cloudy which made for comfortable riding. I went on a few trails I have been on before and tried two new ones. Joe's Ridge is great! Some riding that pushed me but not too much like Zippity. Ftontside is another good one which I went out and back and then connected with Joe's Ridge. There is still another area of trails on the other side of the road I have not been to.
A different day today. Cloudy with some wind. They are predicting snow and storms coming up. It looked like it today. Snow was great and I explored off the groomers for most of today. I started out breaking trail and then realized that wasn't so easy with this much snow. I was able to find a number of tracks that went into lakes and I also went to a few great lookout spots. It wasn't the perfect blue sky day of yesterday but very nice in its own way.
Note: I started at Mesa Top trailhead. This is the start of the Palisade Plunge, I think, and also a hiking trailhead. In the winter this is the jumping off point for snow mobiles. Probably good to explore on skis but it was a Sunday and there were a number of snow mobiles getting ready to head out so I decided to try County Line and leave this for a week day.
