Riding Two Elk | Vail Pass to Minturn CO Nate Hills

"It doesn't get any more "classic Colorado" than Two Elk proper from Vail Pass to Minturn. After you ride Bowmans Shortcut, this is a 3000ft descent to the valley floor. Two Elk offers a special type of jank. There are pedal grabbers lurking everywhere in the tall grass. Throw in some smoke from the wildfires burning all over the state, and the dustiest conditions I have seen, and James and I were pretty lucky to get out of this ride on one piece. #followcamfriday tall grass, dust and pedal grabbers hiding in the bushes edition with James Weingarten. If I had two choose, Two Elk East would be my go-to, but this one deserves a rip every once in a while. Now, if it would just rain..." -- Nate Hills
