This was the most interesting day on the trail yet. We met Brian, Chris & Tam, Julie, Jesse & Tori and Doug and Tracy at the Big Bear Ranger Station to grab some tools for the day ahead. It was a good thing Doug recommended meeting there too, because there was a mega yard sale going on in the triangle. continued…
After days of wheeling, we decided it was time to visit the tourist traps before we left town. continued…

From Corkscrew Gulch, we dropped into Silverton for lunch (and maybe a little bit of souvenir shopping). There’s not many choices in this tiny town, but we haven’t been disappointed yet. Next trail – Red Mountain Mining Area. continued…
