Switchback Trail Video - The last legal Ride

[Mr. Green]

it must be, costco had non hd for $99 (it had like 2-3 mounts).
I paid 200$ about a week ago, for the motosports package they have, online. I saw just the camera HD 1080p for around the same you saw at costco but it was just the camera and case, no mounts etc. My hunch is they make a package just for costco with the camera and 2 mounts or so for x-mas.

I just have to ask...At the very beginning of the ride, there were opposing headlights out...was this for show or did you each have an eyeball out?

It looked cool, so if was not intentional, say it was!!!

Since this thread has a life of its own now, I'll add some pictures from one of my previous rides so that folks who haven't been up there can see some more from the top of Signal Peak.

For those of you not familiar with our area, here's a view over part of the infamous Fordyce Jeep Trail. - it roughly follows the canyon on the left side in this view (at the bottom, crossing the creek occasionally). Fordyce Lake is in the distance.

Great idea Dave...this is now the official switchback trail documentation thread.

Well, for us chickens who took the other way around the goat trail, here's where we rejoin Red Mountain after going around the goat trail. The lookout is behind where I took this shot, and we get a good idea why it's called Signal Peak (although I believe the name predates the radio sites).
