I wish I could say I was riding in these shots, but it was just hiking.

Dave - where is Old Glory?

Reminds me of this pic

and the view from the top

Yet to hit St. Helens OR Wentatchee areas. Those pics are going a long way towards changing all that.:cool:

Too many trails for so little time.
sigh

Hahahaha - is Suntop the answer to everything for you guys?;)

Sean, is that Suntop?:lol:

6000ft of relatively untouched winding ribbon that goes and goes and goes… and not a single tire track on it until the dude on the 5-Spot and my Hummer rolled it…
There's something to be said about this place…

Yes there is - like "where is that"? And "sign me up"!!

Ned - I knew that was above the Chikamin Ridge area but couldn't figure out the name!

btw I spoke to Dale and im just doing Lorna - Spruce - Gun. Somehow the trip got too big and I won't do Taseko _ Warner _ Gun unless its a small group that will fit in one plane/.

Next year Im considering doing Taseko - Gun with just bivy sacks going light over 2 days. I hear Rolo did it in 12 hours of hard riding but he did that when he was very fit and I don't think my back can keep that kind of pace. Plus that's not a lot of time to chill and smell the flowers.

Eldorado and down the front right into Tyaughton via Pearson. ie: get you money's worth in high ground instead of the low ground eh?

I will look into that. Routefinding seems pretty decent there. We'll have overnight packs so that might be a pain. I love the Spruce -[HTML_REMOVED] Gun via high grasslands route but have done that a few times.

What I was thinking of doing on day 2 was riding an out and back from Spruce to Trigger or Hummingbird just to check out the terrain and then head out. I'm thinking that depending on weather I can carry maps for both.

See this map. I've got a better one at home.

The trail from Windy backwards into Eldorado then the high alpine isn't marked. CAn you give me an idea where that is? Is the traverse in the same area as the H in the C H I L C O T I N part of the map? I would guess Pearson creek is pretty easy to pick up

Sweet. Can't have your pleasure w/o at least a little serving or two of pain.

All these epic pics make me wish I could unbreak my camera:(
