Back on the ride I climbed up this little hill that I used to do after work.

From there you can see a little part of the dam I was on earlier.

I used to take friends over the top of that peak in the distance and down the other side to a paved road for the return trip. Really tough climbs going up there and I haven't done it in several years.

I dropped down into the next canyon and took the road out of there.
