Reno, Flag, Bear, Deadman Gulch.

What a day what a trail. The weather was high 80's and the sky was blue. This trail is a combo of 4 sections ending up with 32 switchbacks right back to the car.




This loop really felt remote and right off the back it hit with a 10 km climb up to 11,100'. In fact there was barely a flat spot on the loop but all the pain was well worth it. I seem to recall the guys at The Alpiner describing this ride as " only has 3 climbs the entire loop " they forgot to mention there was no flat or rolling sections it was either up or down :)



These singletrack ribbons went on forever.....



And they all lead up to this. Switchback heaven.....
