Indian Truck Trail and Maple Springs (Santiago)

Sunday, June 22nd @ 7am

Description

I saw that Indian Truck Trail was open. I didn't believe it, so I went up there today. Maple Springs to 4corners, then to Modjeska and Santiago Peaks, 5 more miles of North Main Divide, and down Indian Truck Trail (ITT). Total driving time was about 3 hours. I think some folks in our club would like to make the same trip.

It's all easy road, but ITT is a bit shelfier than Maple Springs.
