Totally true! Hard to sight see and watch the trail at the same time, boom, OUCH! I was told the trail is about 40 miles, sound about right? We didn't get all the way to the mine, but planning to do it this trip! Not many spots you can race, IMO, narrow and rocky, but I like it like that. (We pulled off to yield to on coming riders quite a few times.) Sightseeing is what trail riding is all about. We're gonna get an early start this time and pack a picnic lunch to take with us. At our pace, we should be back to camp for dinner!
