THE OLD WAYS
Bikepacking routes that (re)connect people and place
The Rolling Horse explores the varied landscapes of northwestern Colorado’s Grand Hogback, a 90-mile-long spine of deeply contested ground dividing the Southern Rockies from the Colorado Plateau. The route re-links lands once stewarded by the Nuche (Ute people); specifically, those who hunted amongst the high places we call the Elks, Raggeds, Flat Tops and Roan; and gathered along the banks of the White River.
