Much prettier than US26
Ed Groth, Theo R, and I rode the Piled Higher & Steeper loop today, which was the first time I’d ever ridden up and down Marmot Road.
Boy, was that an oversight. Devil’s Backbone is an extraordinary pain to reach (it’s at ~1500 feet, and even though Marmot Road isn’t a killing climb it is relentless) but the views are spectacular, no matter where you are on the road.
Even after 7500 feet of climbing it was still worth noticing.
