pic
locations: 1: High Grade Road,
2: just north(west) of summit, 3
approaching turnoff to City View
Drive from south(east).
Profiled northern
approach is on four lane US285,
since this is the most direct.
This road has a wide shoulder
for the most part, and cycling
on it is legal. But substituting
a route over North Turkey
Creek Canyon / Deer Creek Canyon
(or other) is a more pleasant
ride.
