Hike Vs Bike

[Silver Wings]

I did a 2.25 mile, with 1400’ of gain, hike in for an overnighter a couple weeks ago. There were a bunch of sections that were too steep to peddle. Then the bike just becomes a liability. Trying to peddle up 1400’ sounds absolutely miserable to me…but then again I’m 65 y/o so ymmv

Unless you are a seasoned Mt. biker this is not a good idea.

Hike, less variables, more flexibility, slower pace to keep an eye out for additional sign. The vertical shouldn't be an issue as you'll need to be prepared for it when hunting season arrives.
