As always nice pictures of your ride, 61 mile loop is a pretty good trip for sure. You see much wildlife in those areas?

Nice, that's some pretty good elevations your riding at for sure. I have rode some ATV's here in the Appalachians where I live, some places are straight up, but our elevations are 6000 feet on down. I have seen my ATV digging with all four wheels wondering if I was going to make it up the mountainside, our mountains are different here than yours.

I really like the high country and views. Nice picture, the stream in the picture, fed by the melting snow pack or mountain springs I suppose?
Also is that some type of concrete water reservoir or catch basin on the left in the stream.

yep...remote come with winch
what a deal !
Wireless? I got the wired remote with mine and I bought the wireless one on Amazon. Pretty cool, and works up to 100 feet away. Great for erecting tower stands etc. on your own.
