Just thinking about planning a vacation for next spring and was wondering what's the "Bar-none, number-one, diversist, gnarliest, easiest, coolest" system in the whole USA?
I'm kinda thinkin' Hatfield-McCoy or Moab. :cool:
What say you?
Hatfield-McCoy has my vote but I have never been west of the mississippi except to race. You can spend a couple of days easy maybe more at the Browning Fork Trail System then go to Dingess Rum and then Buffalo Mountain. Those 3 are my favorites the others are not bad though. Run the black and single track(pretty gnarly stuff) in both directions if you like up and down hills because theres alot of it.
I took the whole family to Coal Creek last spring and I'd highly recommend it to anybody, but I'd bet there are places in this country that would make CC look like a pit stop. And that's saying a mouthful!
Good, but forget it until at least June. Ouray is too high in the mountains to have the snow gone in the spring.
We go to Moab in May and it is beautiful, but we cannot go into the mountains (east of Moab) because of snow. West of 191 is many square miles of wonderful riding opportunities that are good year round.
Check out the Moab threads in the Ride Reports forum for information.
I have been to both Hat-Mcoy and Coal Creek. When I was at CC there was no helmet, riding double, cooler toting 4 wheelers everywhere. You know they had beer in there. Never will go back. Had to go ask people to make their kids stay away from our cars in the parking lot, they was almost as many people riding in the parking lot as on the trail.
Hatfield and Mcoy, trails also seemed to be in better shape.
If you've never ridden Idaho, your missing out!!!!
I moved here from the midwest 23 yrs ago and still havent ridden near all the trails. high mtns to desert. technical to fast and wide.
I ride about 5-6 full day rides a month and try to hit a new trail as often as possible. Most rides are between 40-80 miles per.
feel free to contact me if you want to come out. I'd be glad to guide you around.
