Time for some Winter Mountain Riding Stoke!
This past Sunday I was determined to make it for a for a ride in the mountains. I have been watching the South facing slopes north of I-70 become clearer and clearer so Sunday I decided to take my chances and go check out the old mining roads and trails near Empire and Georgetown. As you'll see while you were driving 2 hours south to Pueblo or cruising the bike paths about Denver and Golden, I wasn't disappointed...
The climb up Empire Pass quickly warmed me up and was completely clear
looking back Georgetown Lake looks nice in the early morning Light
Looking down and I-70 falls off far below
Old Mining caves begging to be Spelunked
Moving on up into Empire and the views start popping out
Maybe if my bike can't get me where I'm going, this fella can
Tractor
Bike
Climbing north of Empire...notice the dry dirt road...oh yeah it was good
Conqueror Mines

I hit 10,000 ft and all of the sudden the snow appeared in abundant Drifts
Conqueror Mine from another perspective
Riding beyond the vistas
The Minturn BMX Park
The descent back down Empire Pass, so short but so much fun
On over to Silver Creek
Where the 1st 2 to 3 miles were mostly clear
But it still had its moments
Ice Canyons
Cliff Riding
and more ruins
