 The Ride

We’ll begin riding on the paved Hwy 288 and roll together to the cattle guard, where we’ll regroup before starting the climb.

 Expect a stunning desert climb often compared to a desert Alpe d’Huez, with sweeping views of Roosevelt Lake, dramatic canyon scenery, and endless photo opportunities.

• Scenic climb toward Angel Wings
• Approx. 16-mile climb to the dirt road leading toward Young
• Passing Cherry Creek along the way
• No water available on route – bring all fluids you need

After reaching the turnaround point, we’ll descend back to the Diversion Dam, then return to Richard & Kim’s house for dinner and post-ride hangout.

Fishing cabins are available at Spring Creek RV Resort Motel:
