    What is the highest trail you have ridden? This one tops out at 12,510ft above the ocean.

      Burro pass 11,200 ft. Heading out to brekenridge in August! Looks killer! I’m from the low lands east coast Connecticut so I will be doing the lift assist trails first. Ending up in crested butte by the end of the week, hopefully be a little bit acclimated by then. Great vid!

    I ran this trail with my doggo a few years back and he got drilled by a porcupine. I pulled out the quills and he finished the run. He's a boss. I'll be riding this in a few weeks.

    Apart from just bombing down hills which is a blast, it's nice to see the amazing places mountain bikes can bring us. Great video kid! Cheers!

    Love Follow Cam Friday. Epic alpine rides. Love the fact you show the climbing, can't shuttle everything.

    Beautiful scenery.

  • @endoalley680
    @endoalley680 Před 5 lety +2

    That looks familiar. A few years back we used to (annually) ride a trail through Breckinridge that my friends called Peak 7/Wheeler Pass that looked something like this. We would park in Frisco. Ride Peaks trail to Breckinridge. Climb Peak 7. Drop over into the Copper mountain side. Climb again up over the (10 mile) ridge. And drop back down into Frisco. Anyhow, some of this single track looks like sections that we rode. I remember how much more fatiguing it was to climb once you hit tree line. And you still had a lot of climbing at that point. I also remember that there were always intermittent rain showers and lightning strikes up there by late afternoon. Very exposed country. So you guys picked a great, clear day to ride there.

  • @mrrims
    @mrrims Před 6 lety +2

    Awesome riding you guys! Colorado is amazing

  • @jenniferrenshaw9727
    @jenniferrenshaw9727 Před 6 lety +2

    Rainbow Lake looking extra crowded! The tourists always look so confused when a bike rolls through there 😂 Love seeing my (and your) backyard trails....was wondering what this looked like via bike, might have to give er a go before the season is up. I’ll be pushing my bike a lot more though!

  • @legeeksportif57

    another sick one! i must say, i thoroughly enjoy living on the same block as zach's stop. scummit tip for visitors, use public transportation to help you with shuttling. options for days.

  • @mtbingadventures1551
    @mtbingadventures1551 Před 6 lety +2

    This is the type of riding I would love to do all the time. The highest trail I have rode my bike was just over 11,000ft.

  • @77DucMon
    @77DucMon Před 6 lety +1

    I've ridden that the opposite way, Peaks Up Miner's Creek, then down the Wheeler all the way to Copper Mountain. That's a whip to ride up. Looks more fun this way. But the descent to Copper put huge perma-grin on my face!

    • @natehills9388
      @natehills9388  Před 6 lety

      This is the preferred way but the descent to Copper is legendary as well.

  • @trailjunkie7302

    @andymtb3212 Před 6 lety +1

    I started an all day ride a few years ago in Keystone Ranch to CO Trail up Gold Hill side. Hike a bike (too much) up between peaks 3-4 to Wheeler. Wheeler down to Burro then bike path to Swan Rd back to trail head. It was about 10 hours and I like your version better :)

    • @natehills9388
      @natehills9388  Před 6 lety

      Ive done that loop. It hurts.... Strong work!

  • @ml.9746
    @ml.9746 Před 6 lety

    I love starting that ride over near quandary and beginning at the start of wheeler. A little extra downhill thru the trees before the big climb

    • @natehills9388
      @natehills9388  Před 6 lety

      I need to try starting from there. I've never ridden that section.

    • @ml.9746
      @ml.9746 Před 6 lety

      It's got really nice flow in yhe wheeler section. Before the drop into burrow trail.

    Hoping to do Monarch Crest in August. Highest was probably 2 yrs ago in Bend on Skyline, OR on the North Umpqua. Nate we need a VAN Check!!! Start of the video I see a ceiling and storage cabinets. LOL Sure looks more comfortable than a year ago for trips. Great vid as always!!

    Luuuv the van fit out! tiled splash back.... timber roof could possibly double up as a sauna overhead cupboards, even a floor rug, and most important of all gods gift to help you kick start the day...a coffee machine!!!. oh the video was awesome as well was you on the 5.5 as I noticed the forks had been changed? cheers Nate

  • @knordberg
    @knordberg Před 6 lety +1

    That was so sick. Just a little jaunt on top of the world! Rode up to the top of Elk Camp on Snowmass. Probably around 11,800.

    • @natehills9388
      @natehills9388  Před 6 lety

      Nice Kris, Elk Camp is sweet! I'll be there in a few weeks.

    • @knordberg
      @knordberg Před 6 lety +1

      BME race there? This was back in the 80's I did this. Used to ride up to the restaurant almost every day. Ah, to be young and in shape again.

  • @aliikane
    @aliikane Před 6 lety +3

      @eugenespreutels8305 Před 6 lety +1

      For sure, coming from 1000 feet and 95 degrees here to your world is a big difference. I feel pretty good usually up to about 8-9000, but over that I can really feel it. Wish I could spend about a month out there to really get acclimated.

      I did it with ways this week. You can park in Frisco and ride to Copper and then up the CT to Miners, to Frisco, or you can leave a car in Frisco and shuttle up Peak 9 as far as possible.

    • @s2CtotheQ

    I have never actually been mountainbiking or had a proper bike before. I really want one for a year now, but i don´t live next to a bikepark or mountain. I do have talent for things like thiis i just know that much. But i suffer from hesitating because its so much money. I m eyeballing a 3000€ bike. Should i get it, or is this too crazy?
