Yet another day on the Uncompahgre

IntrepidXJ · 06-14-2009, 08:41 PM

Amanda had to go into work today so I decided to head up onto the Uncompahgre and finish some trail I have started before and check out a few new ones. I made a big loop by starting out in Escalante Canyon and following it up onto Love Mesa where I eventually joined Divide Road. I headed down the other side of the plateau through Casto Draw and made my way to Gateway. After fueling up, I headed up Sheep Creek and onto the Dolores Triangle. After looping around through Granite Creek, I headed back home through Glade Park.

It was a good day, and there was even some sun out at times today

As usual, here's some photos.

Along the Dolores

Headed towards Sheep Creek

There were a number of small and tight switchbacks at the top

Steamboat Mesa and the La Sals

Left to Moab (if the Dolores were crossable now)...

Another great day exploring the Uncompahgre

Man I wish I lived out west. I love it when my work sends me out to there.

By just looking at those pictures it feels like I'm with you on that trip....
Such an amazing place to go wheeling...
