2018 Canyon Conditions (keep updating)

[texlurch]

Holler when you are ready to go to Bishops. Was just down there couple weeks ago.

Black Canyon is on Hwy 92, East end is off Hwy 50 past Gunnison. The West end you are coming from Hotchkiss or Crawford. Come down 133 from Carbondale, thats a good little road. 91 is a good little cutoff from 70 to Hwy 24.

I am headed out that way end of July most likely to do a 2 day loop to catch Douglas Pass; it's so far out of the way for me I plan to do some other roads like 65 along the edge of Grand Mesa, and Rim Rock in the Colorado National Monument park.

We're draggin' the toyhauler to Montrose in August for nine days to hit up everything down there. Can't wait!!

Gonna hit the free lift and mountain bike park in Telluride as well. (I know, the trails suck, but it's free!)

Make sure you do Unaweep Canyon 141. You can make a good day trip down 550; leave early and go do Mesa Verde if you haven't been there before.

looks like a cool route, gonna have to plan on this. Haven't been that far west yet, need to ride more. Been slacking something fierce. I will post up a ride to bishops in here soon and we'll get that ball rolling

Be aware the first 10 miles of 165 they are doing work on... not really chip seal so much but loose dirt and gravel... fine for posted but be very careful tossing it into a turn at any speed.
