Baby Steps via Klondike Bluffs

So Saturday morning we set out for Klondike Bluffs and the brand spankin new Baby Steps. This trail opened in March of this year and it was clearly evident by the trail condition. It is still very soft and if you get your front wheel anywhere near the edge of the trail, it will suck you in. But, this is singletrack in its purest form. Absolute brilliant route placement of this trail. Its like a moonscape throughout the whole ride and just flows perfectly. There is nothing real physically tough nor is there anything real technical. Just flat out fun. I can't wait til this fall after this trail has seen some moisture and some more traffic. When this baby is packed down it is going to be fast and like a roller coaster.

We rode all the way to the top of Klondike Bluffs, did the short hike for the view and then on the way back down we took Baby Steps which leads off to the right. The route was hard to stay on at times. Being such a new trail, it isn't totally established in all areas especially when it goes over the slickrock. Most of the trail markings were done with rock lines on each side. The first photo below show some this. All in all, so so sweet.

Look closely and you can see Redstone represented on the shoulders of the jersey

The route placement on this trail was very well done.
