Today me and my dad rode Hacket Gulch. This is in the Pike National Forest about a 15 minute drive from the house. This riding area is called "the gulches" and there is about 60 miles worth of really rugged trail-riding. About half of it is Jeep road and the other half is 50 inch trail.
Hacket Gulch starts at 9000 feet on a ridgeline and then descends 2500 feet in 3 miles to the Platte river canyon, the grade probably averages 30-40%. Its a loose gravel surface with a lot of rocks thrown in and a few slabs. Its a great ride.
We only met 3 Jeep’s in 25 miles, didn’t have to deal with a zoo today, which I like.

I went for my first ride of the year yesterday. Made the trip to Black River Falls Wi. The trails were great with the amount of rain we have been getting there was some real deep water holes. It was a great ride covered about 75 miles and the grizz ticked over 1500 miles. It still has the stock tires, original breaks, and is stock when it comes to the suspension, engine, and CVT. The rides are getting few a far between with 2 little boys and a little girl due at the beginning of August. I’ll take the rides when I can get them.
