My buddy and I made a quick morning ride to the top of Stukel Mountain. We unloaded about 10min from the house and headed up the hill. This place has a great mix of everything from high desert, big hill climbs, grassy meadows and great views.

Starting up, looking North toward Hogback and town.

To the North East

Image

Near the very top I almost ran over a grouse and saw a lone doe near the top...she must have been lost.

Image

A view to the North looking over Klamath Falls and the southern end of Klamath Lake.

Image

Looking South to Mnt Shasta

Image

We were above the clouds and once in a while one would blow by.

Image

I took some video and tried to pan around to show what great views are on top. They don't do it justice.

The clouds cleared a little so I took some more video from the East to North.

A pair of bad motor scooters!!

We went over a ridge to the East and checked out a few meadows.

A small lake

All in all it was a great ride!

It can get dusty at times. You are required to carry an axe, shovel and fire extinguisher when the fire danger is up. There are many places to ride around here though.

Many areas have rocky sections in the trails. We don't have anything like the Rubicon if that is what you are looking for. I will be around all summer. :)

Doggone that is some nice country. Stukel looks like a great hang glider launch as well, with landing zones as far as the eye can see. Jealous!

Really nice country! I'm jealous - we're still locked up in snow down here.
