After my float down the Colorado River in the afternoon, I came home and relaxed for a little while. About an hour before sunset I decided to head out and do a little mountain biking near home. Not too far away is a part of the Old Spanish Trail, and it’s open to bikes, so I headed over there for a short and easy ride as the sun was setting. I took a few photos along the way…
Long Shadows
The shadows were starting to get long when I started.
Old Spanish Trail
Plenty of signs along the way to keep you on the right track.
Road Ahead
It’s a pretty desolate-looking area….and only a few miles from home.
Old Road
Part of an old road through the badlands….the Grand Mesa peeking up in the background.
Gunnison River
The trail connected up with the Gunnison Bluffs Trail for a little bit where I had a view down onto the Gunnison River.
Grand Valley View
View of the Grand Valley from where I turned around. I could have gone just a little further, but would have just ended up in a subdivision.

It was a great opportunity to play with my new lens. Here’s some of the photos I took on our trip there.
