Think we logged just over 30 miles, perfect start for the trip - especially as there was lots of cold beer and good whisky back at camp, and target practice with a great pellet gun.













Our buddy Aron showed up Thursday morning and being his first time to the Giff, we figured we take it somewhat easy on him and rip out to East Canyon Ridge; then make our way to the Dark Meadows trail (263) as we'd never been on that trail. 265 was a blast as always, amazing views of Mt. Adams as you climb up, and then the crazy, long arse downhill rip heading back down. We saw two other riders on that trail, they passed as we stopped to enjoy the views - didn't see 'em again.
