Today was a special day.

3 years ago in September devastating floods wiped out the Big Thompson Canyon, Poudre Canyon, even parts of Boulder County to our south.

That flooding also took out many off road trails.  Hundreds of miles of trail to be exact.  Crystal Mountain Trail was one of them that fell victim to the flooding of 2013.  Well some road repairs finally occurred on the primary route and the spur up to the top of Crystal became accessible again.

This video is of the first tracks up Crystal Mountain Trail 344A in almost 3 years.

We had to chainsaw numerous trees out of the trail to open the road back up, and the flood waters have turned this into quite the trail with many obstacles now!

The stock ruby did just fine but clanged a few of the rocks on the way down.

This is in real time with the stops removed mostly.  I left a few of the tree trimmings in there just so you can see us doing it.

The other two took the very loose trail to the summit, I stopped and ate lunch!
