    Default Metberry Gulch



    Had a great day. It was Rain, My Daughter Amanda her Boyfriend Cody and our Boston Buster. Hit the trail around 10:30 and was surprised at how much snow was there. Made it all the way down in 2 wheel but then 4 low on the way up. The rock slab was fun but slick cause of the snow on my tires. Hung out at the bottom for a couple hours just messin around on the ice and having lunch. Packed out a hefty bag full of trash which the fire dept took and was very appreciative. Weather was awesome.

    Nice pics Rick. How many miles you trail ride down there?

    Around 12 round trip on the "actual" trail, once you pass the fire station its a trek just to get to the trail head

    Love that trail but it is a long ways from Fort Collins. That rock is a fun obstacle, still freaking from the first time going down it.
