rode south fork salmon trail, freaking crazy ride with big exposure!

 

Doubt I could ride there, tend to get vertigo. Kudos to those who can.

 

Stro -
More pics and report, please. We've been contemplating this one for a while. The Secesh River trail is another one on the list.

 

LOL!...I gotta agree, Scott. stro is the epitome of the short, succinct ride report. I can see stro's version of a trip like that "Long Way Around" motorcycle series where those guys went around the world...

Took a long motorcycle trip. Saw some crazy stuff and did some crazy riding. Saw an elephant. Had fun. Here's a couple of pics.

Now stro, not dissin' on ya, but dude...give us a little info about how things went...LOL!

 

(Hmmmmm, cue the Ozzie song....)

Buh Bum........Buh Bum, Buh Bum, Buh Bum........
I, I, I,......
Buh Bum........Buh Bum, Buh Bum.......
chhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Drivin' off the rails on the Crazy Trail!!"

 

i know i know got two kids and a goat to feed lol.
here is a u tube vid showing abit more meat of the trail, when I get time ill give a bit better description and how to get there.
cheers

 

Yup, that is one sick crazy trail. No room for error. Only for advanced riders.

 

beautiful trail, but I aint ready for that one yet haha. Nice riding skills

 

stro, forget about the ride report...tell us more about the goat...LOL!

That's an awesome vid. For such a sidehilling, wallhugging trail, I was amazed how relatively "clean" it was. By that I mean that kind of trail usually has more rock slides and other erosion elements that make for really precarious situations. Don't get me wrong, there's an amazing amount of exposure, but it just looks so solid. Do you know who maintains that trail? You know after a winter season or even a big storm, there must be fallen trees and other problems out there. That's a neat trail.

 

its pretty well carved outa solid rock in the canyon part, nothing falls on the trail there as it just rolls off downhill (abit overhanging above in allot spots),its an old native trail/horsepack trail.you can see parts of the original trail heading father up the south fork from the road. i dont know how far it goes as we only rode it as far as the vid pretty well but I think it goes a fair bit farther. the video does not do this justice as it is seems allot higher and narrower in real life (especially on a bike).There is actually not many places wide enough to turn you bike around, I think fisherman/hikers use it mostly so they probably maintain it.We rode it in early may and were probably some of the first to get on it that season and trail was totally clean.
