Ah yes, another overnighter on the Cabin Loop. What? 5 times now? What am I thinking?
I am thinking it is all that.
- official signage
- hmmmm. what to put on the bike?
- 2 tallboy corona extras later and it is ready to go!
- Always a good idea to sign in. I like to look through the log for any communications. Just in case.
- Pinchot Cabin. Looking a little more secure.
- no armor needed for this flow!
- short ride, like 6 miles to camp! I am super hard-core.
- oh how I like this little bridge.
- Spring is about ready to burst up on the Rim.
- Aspen Cabin. Falling apart and smelling like an outhouse.
- You have to like the siding.
- genuine US Steel. I have to think that is not available any longer.
- A multi-family backpacking trip in a few weeks – and this area should be blooming pretty nice for it.
- my 2nd campfire ever. I think I can trust myself now.
- There was lots of snow. I had a ton of fun on the ride South up to the Rim, zipping through snow drifts.
Lots of down-fall.
It was a short 23 mile loop and that was all I needed. I finally have the gear set up down to a comfortable minimum. It is easy to get it together and get out with not much thought.
Bikepacking on the Cabin Loop in the Spring.
Good stuff.
