Comment: The Group I ride with make this trip several times a year. To add to this trip, make a loop out of it by turning and heading back to the west to Delta then Grand Junction, or turning East and heading over MCclure pas to Redstone and Carbondale to I-70, wich is the route that I reccomend as it will take you down the Crystal River and its many water falls. If you are interested in making this ride with a group of fun, non drinking folks Call 970-379-5114 Ps. A camera is a must!!!
