The climb out is on an easy yet extremely scenic road. The single-track that comes next is some of the best in the Valley: the narrow dirt vein ahead of you just keeps going and going and going and the bliss seems to never end. Moreover, the views of nearby Mount Ouray and distant Mount Shavano will make you leap out of your shoes.
