The Flag Creek Trail goes down this valley

Zoomed in, you can see the trail at the end of the valley

Motorcycles are allowed on these trails. In many spots they make steep whoop-de-doos and loosen the dirt. It's fun going down these, but they make the climbs much harder

Now we're on the Bear Creek Trail. Joshua, in the red jersey, joined us at the top.

At this point we've about to enter Bear Creek Gulch. Jeff and Joshua just disappeared around the corner and Walt is just behind me.

 |
Taking a break at the bottom of the Bear Creek Trail, we're about to head up Deadman's Gulch Trail, seen behind
|
|
 |
Just to be clear...

Steve got a head start and looks back down on Jeff, Walt and Joshua

The trail was harder to climb than it looked because of the motorcycle traffic (loose and steep whoops) and the altitude, so there was a lot of pushing, and time to stop to take photos.
|
|
 |
There was lots of time to admire the flowers while pushing up the trail
