I stopped a couple of single track guys to ask them how far on 191 to the entrance of Kane Creek. They said about 2.25 miles so off we went. Just like they said we turned in at the gate and dropped into Kane Creek. Yea, there was water. A little ways into this trail we came across a group of single track riders that ... Full story

Now for the trip to Smiley Rock and back. We went N of town and turned back on a FS road. This side of the mountain had much more snow. Some of the trail was like being in a tunnel of trees.

There were several more steep hills up and down that were a blast until we ended up at a sigh signifying we were at the wilderness and no motorized vehicles ... Full story

We took a couple of side trails and ended up on a trail that kept crossing the creek. It got very rough W/ boulders and didn't look like it continued much further so we turned around and were heading back to the trucks the back way from Cleator. I tore about a 3 inch hole in my rear inside sidewall. It took about 10 plugs ... Full story
