April trip - Day 4

On Tuesday we decided to ride part of the Edge Loop. We couldn't do the whole loop (34 miles, takes all day) because of some melting snow and muddy sections up high. Instead we rode up Prime Cut, did Chutes & Ladders to the Corral and rode the Edge section to the waterfall/portage, then turned back. Btw, the Edge loop is one of the IMBA Epics. I defenitely want go back and ride the whole thing...
In the evening we rode Joe's and Zippety's again. The sun was setting and we had cold beer at the car when we were done with our ride. Another awesome day!

Portage

We arrive at the portage. Even though this was a our turn around point for this ride we decided to climb up the portage and check out the area above it. Normally riders have to go down this 'waterfall'... (JP)
