This morning near Manson, I wanted to explore the Goat Mountain radio site to the north and east of the Outback of the Echo Ridge trail system. The weather was cloudy and cool which was ideal but the radio tower summit was not visible so I stayed inside the Echo Ridge system. I parked down low at the ski hill to finish the ride with Switchback Alley or Waterbar Heaven depending on where my ride ended up.
I climbed the road this time to the North Trailhead and then Spaghetti Junction and enjoyed Big Critter to the High Five Junction. From there, I rode the Upper Ridgeview and Lower Ridgeview and then Uppsy Daisy to the Upper Echo lot. After Lot to Lot, I did Lollipop Loop and finally Devine Intervention, some of Shoe, climbed back up to do Minor Threat, Shoe, finishing with Switchback Alley. The video of the Switchback descent is here. It was a great tour and trail conditions are dry but not bad at all.
