ERT Gold River Fail

Elkhorn?

The Big Johnson, looking less than comfortable on his bike. Perhaps this is where he flated?

Bridge over Upper Campbell Lake is closed to vehicle traffic.

In Spring conditions on a winter day the Big Johnson and I rode out the Elk River Timber main line to Upper Campbell Lake . Our goal was Gold River, but I had been told of an impassable river due to a bridge being removed. We never got to the impassible river as a smaller river blocked our way and neither of us wished the wet feet required to continue, there will have to be a summer attempt. over 100K return, mostly flat with very little climbing this is an excellent short day ride or a very good first overnighter for anyone new to bikepacking. There are many good camping spots along the route. View route here.
