After doing a bunch of hiking on Saturday, I thought I should take it relatively easy on Sunday. I visited Lair o' the Bear Park, a public open space within Jefferson County, to do some mountain biking. The start of the trail runs along Bear Creek. I thought this rickety suspension bridge was pretty cool.
The trail climbed for many miles through the woods. I was hoping to see a bear, but the deer were so thick I about had to kick them off the trail.
...and another one.
At least this one knew to stay off the trail.
I was hoping I would be able to see the Continental Divide, but I don't think the area is high enough. The wooded area was still very scenic.
Here is a portion of the trail going uphill. I don't think I could hold the camera very well on the downhill section, especially when you get going around 25 mph. I think riding down the hill over the undulating terrain through the woods is probably the coolest thing I have done out here.
