Lots of mounting and dismounting but eventually managed to get the bike to Van Epps. I'd call it a bike-hike

Parked on FS Road 4330 @ Fortune Creek. Made it up in 2 1/2 hours. Got to the pass and hiked to a higher vantage to get a glimpse of Spirit Lake and surrounding terrain

Back to the truck in 1 1/2 hours No other people encountered

That trail looks like it was tailormade for a hardtail

I love a good bike hike! Looks nice up there. Good to see some wildflowers still hanging on.

Yep! Second guessing my decision on purchasing a hard tail.

my keester still hurts...

3 miles of riding/3.5 miles of pushing, worth it for 5 days in bear country...and the nice zip back down. My "vintage" 1991 Rock hopper

Since I have no expectations of forgiveness, I don't do it in the first place. That loop hole needs to be closed to everyone.
