Military: Orchard, Watchman and 3 Bears

This is one of my favorites. Good views and great trails. Maybe even a dash of fall colors at the highest points.

We'll ride up Shane's, drop down to Rocky Canyon and then up to Orchard. Then a short dropdown to Watchman and before heading back down 3 Bears.

The ride is 18 miles with 2800 feet of vertical. Most of the climbing is on rocky canyon which has a fairly constant grade. Orchard and Watchman both have some steep pitches but the pay off is good views and a great descent.

Let's meet at the Military Reserve at 9 am, I'll be under the shade structure near the bathrooms and above the pump track.
