For your viewing pleasure - High Lonesome Trail

Hey all,

Thought that I would post a few pictures of a MTB ride (High Lonesome Trail, east of Tabernash) I did last weekend. The columbines were in bloom like crazy, and amazingly, during July 4th weekend, I didn't see another rider on this trail, and only encountered a few riders on Tipperary Creek.
