Exploring the Lowell Mountain Range With the Boys
A few days ago the GRP skiing boys set off on a long dirt road cruise. We didn’t really have a plan of where we were going but wanted to get as close to the windmills on top of the Lowell mountain range as possible. After riding some dirt roads and some class 4 roads we ended up pretty close to the windmills.

At this point, this was as close as we could get to the windmills using only dirt roads so we started up what looked like an old unmaintained trail.

The trail ended up not really being ridable so we just got off our bikes, picked them up and started hiking straight up the mountain. After about half an hour of bushwhacking we finally made it to the top!
The windmills are massive at about 450 ft tall!

Not a bad way to spend a Friday morning!
After exploring the ridge line, we ripped down the access road. It heads down the other side of the ridge and is about a 6 minute fast fun downhill!
