Wyoming Peak Mountain Bike Rides This set of GPS data contains 3 trips to the summit of Wyoming Peak on mountain bikes. All three trips reach the summit, but the first one shows the results of having bad analog map beta and making bad decisions about finding the proper trail head, the second one shows a route with maximum elevation gain, but involves climbing/descending steep grades on F.S roads. The 3rd trip shows the “optimum” route for no bushwhacking and avoidance of steep grades on F.S. roads.
Ramshorn Spring Skiing Tour A successful spring skiing trek that showcases a descent of the NE Bowl. We picked a slightly different approach directly from the highway, and were pleased with the results. We didn’t ski from the summit on this day, due to concerns with cornices and slabs in the steep routes from the top.
Ramshorn Summer Climb Sometimes a nice bushwhack is kinda fun. On the ascent, we missed a key trail marker due to a washout, and so the climb involved more bushwhacking then necessary. On the descent, our group split and some of us descended one of the steep gullies from the summit ridge.
Shoal Creek Mountain Bike Ride This GPS track chronicles a successful mountain bike trip along the length of Shoal Creek, starting at the Hoback River, and reaching a turn-around point where the trail hits the Wilderness boundary. The GPS data includes several useful way points.
Shoal Lake Trek This GPS track chronicles a day of hiking and fishing that started/finished at the Riley Draw trail head, with Shoal Lake as the destination. 16 miles round trip, with over 3,000 feet of elevation gain.
