Incredible pictures on that page. I love when animals are featured.

Makoy - are those monkey shy or more or less accustomed to human people ?

Shy but when you offer them food, they'll surely accept it.

Up around 13,000 ft. on some old mine roads.

Climbed 7,000 ft. in 30 miles. Not really any singletrack riding, but it was fun to explore the area.

Photos are a bit hazy from fires in the area.

@HT2: no idea where the book cover picture was taken. The road is now fully paved, very nicely too, and I have not seen a rocky overhang like that. Maybe it's one of the places where they put a covered gallery in. My photo is on the north side, just after the pass.
