Sometimes an evening ride is more about the flowers than the ride. It is very possible we spent more time off our bikes than on them, but none the less it was all enjoyable. Every now and then you find a spot with great light and beautiful flowers and the bikes get parked, while we wander off into the trees looking for wildflowers. I'll admit since my camera is with me every ride, this happens more often that I like to admit to. Another evening ride on the Sun Mountain Trails, so much beauty to enjoy. This is my go to place when I need a quick get away, the thrill of the hills with the air rushing by, parking the bike and soaking in wildflowers among the ponderosa pines.
Since we don't take snowshoeing very serious and it's just another way to get out in the great outdoors and have some fun, we snowshoe highway 20 from the parking area up the pass quiet often. It is a busy snowmobile area, but if you just be aware of whats going on around you, it is safe. There is so much room to have fun, snow covered slopes, snowshoe up the road, or venture off the road. It is a gradual climb up the road, we never get very far before we run out of gas and are ready to head back down. I would love to some day take a snowmobile to the top of the pass...and snowshoe....I keep dreaming. This is a easy location to just get out, stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh winter air. I have always been a little bit apprehensive about snowshoeing where there is snowmobile activities, but so far we have met only super polite folks and very respectful to keep their distance of folks snowshoeing.
