Day 7 - Fairplay, Johnson Village, Nathrop and Salida.
Todays journey covers an easy 70 km route, with a long descent from Fairplay on highway 285, taking us nearly all the way to Salida. We only have one small climb up Trout Creek Pass (9,346' elevation).
We woke to a cold morning in the campground and headed straight to Johnson Village for breakfast.
As most of the ride was downhill, we had managed to cover over 35 km by early morning!
The views today were amazing, with some of the most scenic downhill yet throughly enjoyed with no steep hills to climb!
We took highway 291 to Salida and with plenty of time to enjoy the town, we stopped at a few coffee shops and relaxed for a few hours before leaving for the campground.
