My oldest son and I met up with a group of guys in Silverton last week to ride the Alpine Loop network of trails and jeep roads. Our home base was the town of Silverton and the Triangle Motel. The motel was located on the OHV route and was clean and welcoming. We rode 5 days covering just about all the major passes and riding roughly 380 miles.We had great weather. Cool clear mornings opening up into slightly warmer afternoons.
Here’s a few pictures.
