Durango (Jones > Flag > Dutch)

This ride seems to be more of a locals route, described as a ride with tough climbing, hike-a-bike, and a great downhill.  The ride is as it was described to me.  Located at the bottom of the Hermosa Creek Trail this is a nice loop, but packs 3,900 feet of climbing into 19 miles.  Like most of the riding in Durango hard work is rewarded with some long ripping downhills.
