Have you ever wanted to ride around Four Peaks on as much dirt as possible? Sure you have. This route is probably best done as a 2-day bikepack, camping at Middle Water Spring near the top of El Oso rd. I didn't have two days to ride it, so it ended up being an all-day half the night affair. Well worth the effort.
