Spring Break 2015 - Fruita 18 Road Trails

On the third day, Monday, H&C had to go to work, so we headed north to the 18 Road trail area north of Fruita. This area comprises a network of trails at the foot of Book Cliffs; there is essentially one trail, Prime Cut, that leads up the gentle slope to the base of the cliffs, and then several options for heading back down. For our first return, we came down Kessel Run, which is super swoopy and super fun. Great for kids of all ages! After that, we road PBR (Pumps Burms and Rollers). I'm not sure which pictures go with which ride.

Back at the parking area after finishing PBR, we take a lunch break.

We hadn't really planned for lunch, so had to make do with what we had in the cooler.

Next we went back up Prime Cut to Chutes and Ladders, which was tough route over to our return on Vegetarian. Prime Cut is tough for kids and parents of all ages. It was also really hot. A better plan would have been to do Prime Cut first, and save Kessel Run and PBR for after lunch.

Yes, Abbey, that is the trail...

We made a group decision to head a back to H&C's houe after that. Later that evening some of us got out for another ride at the Lunch Loops.
