    Anybody planning to ride the Alpine Loop or any nearby trails this summer? Several friends and I have ridden there the past two years and had a ball. Trails are 4WD but fun if ridden at a good clip. The main loop is 60+- miles and full of ATVs and Jeeps just creaping along. No worries though because the trail usually has plenty of room to pass. Passing those Jeeps and ATVs makes you feel like you are really flying.

    Branching off the main loop are literally 100s of other trails that usually dead end at an old mining site. Sometimes there is what's left of the machinery from the 19th century operation and somtimes there is nothing but the end of the road.

    The loop goes over two passes above 12,000 feet so if you go, take a jacket!
