The route I took was 33 miles and took me four hours. I could probably take an hour off that since I had to stop and check the map quite a bit and also kept the watch running while I sat down on the continental divide to enjoy a brew.
The Vapor Trail 125 was going on, and I saw some of those guys as the final 40 miles of the race include the Monarch Crest trail. Fucking animals.
As an added bonus, the trail ends at Elevation Beer Company! They make beer there! Hooray beer!
$100 and the dog used those four hours to explore the area. She took a nice pic of my pooch. Completely coincidental that the dog hasn't bit anyone since Colorado legalized weed.

Glad you got it done. You forgot to mention it was a gravity-assisted coast (ok, with a few bumps).
Did your dog pee on both legs of the sign, one on each side of the divide?
The down is harder than the up due to how technical it is.
Did you go down Silver Creek or Marshall Pass road?
Silver Creek. So many more trails to explore out there.
Salida sucks, everybody should go somewhere else. Nothing to see there.
Well done, I need to check that out some time. With new brake pads.
