3 Day Rocky Tops and Hot Springs

Come with us for a long weekend of must see Colorado back country and a few secrets only us locals know about. 

Bag a 14er! At 14,000 ft, Mt Evans is the highest paved road in the country and we ride to the top.  We traverse eight mtn passes, see historic mountain towns and carve some awesome canyons. This 480 mile 3 day loop begins and ends in Golden Colorado with 2 nights lodging at Mt Princeton Hot Springs. Level 3 terrain (with Level 1 bypass options) and a relaxed pace make this perfect for an intermediate or advanced rider looking for incredible views and a great time on and off the bike.
