Shots from the Trail: Wapiti Trail at Heil Valley Ranch

Some pictures from my ride on Wapiti Trail at Heil Valley Ranch in Boulder County today ... I only made it 2.5 miles up the trail. This trail connects to a number of loops and recently was connected with the newer trail, Picture Rock. One day, I shall go farther. But for now ...


Most of the trail is in relatively dense trees, so the views like this are few and far between. This is at the start of the trail.
After an initial climb on switchbacks, you cross a fire road, and start on rockier (but a little flatter) trail.
Given the fire danger over the past couple of years, the county has started thinning the trees in the open space. This picture and the next two show that.
