It turns out our gig to the mountains would strike the fancy of a very select group of enthusiasts-those looking for a real getaway to some high elevation extreme riding.
Our destination was an area south and west of Creede, CO, which is tucked away in the southern part of Colorado.
This was not a trip to an area with a three- or four-star hotel with live music in the lounge at night along with groomed tails in all directions. First off, the only groomed trail in this neighborhood is the six-plus miles from the Rio Grande Reservoir parking area into the Lost Trail Guest Ranch. The ranch is a real escape from reality in every sense of the term.
