Description

Begin at Pinkham Mountain Trailhead, and head westbound along Forest Road 895. You'll have some climbs and will pass through some aspen groves before the terrain opens up to sloped sagebrush ravines. There are a few great camping spots overlooking the North Platte River, looking westward at the snowy Mt. Zirkel range.

If you choose to ride all the way down to the river, the fly fishing is excellent, and the river about waist high in the deeper spots.
