Cliff Lake

Cliff Lake 


Bear & Zoe


Notes:  Rode Dakota, saw one hunter by his truck on FSR 996, parked at Bungy Park, didn't see any wildlife.  I would have taken pictures of the fall colors along FSR 700 and CR 11, but when I was pulling out of Bungy Park, I remembered that I had left the pump on at the water tank at home and couldn't stop to take any more pictures.

Blue Lake

This is the Blue Lake in the Rawah Wilderness on the east side of North Park.  The trailhead is accessed from CO Hwy. 14.


The pass (where the saddle is) leads over to the trail to Carey Lake.

Willow Pass Trail

I was going to ride on the Bill Creek Trail which is off of the Stillwater Pass Road, but the road was closed with the metal gate swung across of it for logging. So instead I got the truck and trailer turned around and went back up CO Hwy. 125 to Willow Creek Pass at the border between Jackson and Grand counties.  This piece of the trail is part of the Continental Divide Trail.  When I got to the intersection with Trail 1226, I turned left or north.  Trail 1226 is used by motor bikes and is in great shape for horseback riding with all of the downed trees cleared and some form of a bridge over the wet places.

This is the marker for Trail 1226 were it crosses CO Hwy. 125.
 Notes:  weather very nice, took Zoe & Bear, didn't see anyone or any wildlife
