Now that's cool !!!

My brother lives up in Eagle, Colorado.
I think I recall him saying that the line from Leadville down to Minturn was no longer being used. Or maybe it’s just seasonal. You’d have to check. I'm thinking that would be an awesome ride. One heck of a beautiful down hill run.

I have to wonder about the legalities of that one though. I’m sure the track is still owned by the RR. I know that they loved busting snowmobiles up there on it for trespassing. I’d think a “rail-rider” would be no different. But if you could do it... That would be a nice scenic run.

BTW – If you pull the tires off an old CT-70 (Honda Mini-Trail) they sit on a track pretty nice. BTDT. Just need the outrigger. Over time the rims get pretty beat up though. No longer usable with tires.

Nice thread.
I want one !!

Have a great trip. (I’m jealous)
Don't forget to take pictures !!
