Colorado Mountain Boondocking Photos
Howdy all! This week I've been located in the beautiful Sawatch mountains west of Salida, CO. The area is spectacular and I had to share a couple photos! I have to admit, I am attempting to learn...

JFNM - We've done the Columbine/Rainbow Trail by parking at the Columbine Trailhead, then riding up CR 49 until we hit the Rainbow Trail. From there, we rode NW back to Columbine and went down Columbine to the car. While steep in places, it was easier climbing up the road than Columbine Trail.
That is probably an excellent idea! Going up Columbine was extremely tough. Lots of hike-a-bike!

I must say kudos to you for riding at those elevations, I run out of breath just thinking about what you are doing.
Ha!! Gotta tell ya. I rode around the Columbine trailhead parking lot for a minute pretending to "warm up" and then started up the trail. My GPS said I was .11 miles in when I had to stop because I had no air and my heart was about to bust out thru my chest!! At that point, I decided I had better pace myself. ;)
