Mount Locke

The 2005 MTF Poker Run From Hell

The Sniffin' Rides

 

 

This is a LONG ride and only included here because someone requested it.   This ride is better done by relocating to Alpine and spending a day with this ride and maybe a day or so in Big Bend.  That said, the ride around Mount Locke is some of the best riding in Texas.   Mount Locke is also the home of the McDonald observatory which managed by the University of Texas and includes two observatories on adjacent peaks.   The road to the observatory is the highest state maintained road in Texas at around 5700 feet.   This ride would be perfect to do ether before or after the PRFH if you have time. 

If your going to do this ride as a 2 day ride, please let someone know so we won't be worrying about what happened to you.  Thanks.
