Well, it's fairly early spring here in the greater Steamboat Springs area which makes it time to start assessing the rideability one of my favorite places to do some gravel grinding, the
Flat Tops Wilderness. With peaks and parks that extend up over 12,000 feet of altitude I had no doubts that I would be stopped at certain points due to snow pack but alas, one must try. Here are a few shots from a 62 mile ride that took me up every dirt road that accesses the Flat Tops between Oak Creek and Yampa.
