If you’re heading northwest to Pingree Park Road from Buckhorn Road you can use Monument Gulch Road as a short cut. From Buckhorn Road, Monument Gulch first climbs for a bit but after that it descends all the way to Pingree Park Road.


The XT225 is a good bike for this road


Monument Gulch gets a bit bumpy at times


There are some smooth and level sections on Monument Gulch Road as well


Lots of Aspen trees here
