Four of us made the trip to Idaho City this morning, me, Kim, Lance, and his son Bret. We all mounted up on our Honda's and headed for Pilot Peak. We took all kinds of side trails on the way up, but eventually you end up on the old road, FS314, all the way to the top. After a few power bars and some much needed water, we headed back down via a loop to Elk Creek. We had one little stream crossing, then the main channel of Elk Creek itself.
Nice.... Cool water.
We headed down to where Elk Creek and Deer Creek merge, crossed again, and followed the creek back up to FS314. We then enjoyed a run down the old canal, which is getting rougher every season, and then back to the vechicles. We stripped off our gear and went over to Granite Creek and washed/cooled ourselves off.
It was a great 42.56 mile ride! Temperature was perfect. Here are some pics of the gang:
