Kokopelli - Mountain Bike

 This is a great area for mountain biking. I started on rustlers loop which is a combination of trail above the river and then trail through a sandstone area. After that I went on Mary's trail but continued on it up to a different trailhead. This has more canyon rim riding and views of the river and surrounding hills. I saw very few people on the trails today. Strange since it was a Saturday. I heard voices at one point but it turned out to be rafters down on the river. Holly dropped me off at the trails in the am and then I rode back to the house on the bike path when I was done mountain biking. The tour of the moon, a big road bike event, was going to Loma on the bike path when I was headed back to Fruita. I went by hundreds of bikes! Popular event apparently.

Close To Home

 McInnis Canyon hike in the morning. Then we went up to the Colorado National Monument around 6PM to walk around some and then go to a ranger talk about coyotes. Another fine day!
