The jeep roads grew more hectic and steep with a really fun descent thrown in for good measure. By this time, we'd been climbing for a few hours. The climb up to the top of Pierson Park was tough. The views of Pierson Mt were amazing.
We dropped down from Pierson Park in a hurry. This is the first switchback in a series of many. They just kept getting steeper, tighter, rockier, and looser as we descended.
The singletrack is great. It's relatively unused because it's hard to get to. Front Range backcountry at it's finest.
Also, in it's finest form, the rocks were scattering as we hustled down the trail. Scattering enough to do some damage that required heavy trailside maintanence.
We were able to reseruct our devices and make it back down the trail and back down to the car. Stairs aren't for walking!

Wow, beena long time since i rode a lot of that. Those first steep switchbacks, whew! Those are fun, and scary!
It's funny, those switchbacks. It seems like they haven't changed one bit in the last few years. Hell, even some of the rocks seem like they're in the exact same spot. Pretty much zero traffic up there. You get down to Lion Gulch, though, and it's another story entirely.
