    Going UP the Poughkeepsie Gulch Trail in Colorado on a WR250R


    This trail is very steep. It goes from 10,143 to 12,546 feet in about 4 miles.


    This trail is probably the most technically challenging trail in the Ouray area. It connects Mineral Creek on one end to California Gulch and Hurricane Pass on the other end.


    It also has a huge Rock Obstacle in the middle called the wall. Unfortunately my batteries died before getting to that part.

    I went with some MSTA guys from Indiana. Landon and Roy I still have bumps and bruises from a month ago. I can't wait to go back though. We had a great time.

    Criminy! I have much more to learn before launching into something like that. Randy Logan & I went across Ophir Pass after STAR. That was a white-knuckle event for me, and it pales in comparison to this.
