I had a early morning ride up to spruce park today. Left the trailhead early trying to avoid the extreme heat we’re having. Spruce park is a back country forest service facility that is frequently used by trail crews. It is about a 5.5 – 6 mile ride up big river trail #155. This is a easy trail with little elevation gain so its a great ride if you don’t want a lot of challenging terrain. The trail is mostly treed with very few view opportunities, but it is still enjoyable to just ride along in the shadows of the big larch trees with no noise except for the clop clop from your horse.

River views from the plateau at spruce park are very pretty
