We went 8 miles up a canyon and crossed over to a different canyon on a road that had a short dirt section on each end and was only one wide lane, There was some granny gear grunting and swirling wind and some traffic due to road closures in the area from snow.

Of course after a sweaty climb comes a screaming descent while you are wet. Fun day, beautiful in those hills. Rain is supposed to be here and the snow might come down to 2500 feet.
