Sandstone Canyon

[Hoss]

Since this website is so cool.......and I recently saw a post by Strega for Vimeo embed capability.....thought I would give it a go.

This is a ride through Sandstone Canyon on my XRR that I miss so much.
Sure wish I still had that bike

Vimeo embedding is the bomb!

NICE !...looks like fun....I didn't know where sandstone canyon was, and for anyone else who didnt' know, it is west of fish creek wash, south of hapaha flat and pinyon mountain/wash....

Is Sandstone Canyon an "Up and Back" route or does it loop around? I've tried to figure it out looking at the maps but just can't tell.

Can one start at split mt and continue north to 78? Or vice versa?

It's a dead end spur off of Fish Creek. Of course you can backtrack about a mile and go up the Diablo droppoff to S2 and of course get to 78 from there. The other option is to go on up Fish Creek and climb Heart Attack Hill but that might be a chore.

climb Heart Attack Hill but that might be a chore.

Pfft. No problem.

Unless I need to bring my bike, too.

I'm sure it will be no problem for the mighty 540!

All it needs is a decent rider...
