After making our way back to Fall River Road, we headed up through the town of Alice. Once we figured our way through the maze of roads there, we were soon on our way to Kingston Peak.
We stopped at the Rockhouse at the Loch Lomond Overlook.
When we reached Apex Road, we took a left and make a quick stop at the East Portal of the Moffat Tunnel (last time I was here to run Jenny Creek and Rollins Pass I didn't take the time to check it out). After that we headed out to Rollinsville before heading to Moon Gulch. This turned out to be a very tight trail that was also pretty off-camber much of the way.
Start of Moon Gulch.
End of Moon Gulch shortly before reaching Gamble Gulch and Apex Road again.
Passing through Apex on our way to Central City.
After reaching Central City we took Oh My God Road (Virginia Canyon) back to Idaho Springs before heading to the Backcountry Brewery in Frisco for some dinner.
That's it for Day 8. Only one more short day to go!
The final day of our trip was a short one. I had been away from home for 8 days, and had a lot of stuff I needed to get done before heading back to work. We decided to run Red and White Mountain along with Piney Lake Road before heading home. It was an easy trail that wouldn't take us very long, plus it was right near I-70 on our way home.
I didn't take many photos this day, but here's a few that I did take...
There were a lot of people at the lake....hiking, fishing, etc...
.....and that's the end of my trip and this report. It was a great 9 days and I had a ton of fun! Now to start planning for my southern Utah trip this fall
P.S. Thanks for all the great comments about my trip!
