What a great ride today. “Dono” and I left around 9:30 and headed to Highlands which is located about 20 miles outside of Great Falls. From a distance the mountains looked weak. But when we got in there we were plesantly surprised. The trails were a combo of Sun Valley and our own Helena Ridge trail. We decided to do the Windy Ridge. The trail started through a gully. Lots of ups and downs. The small ups were steep and the downs kept your interest with technical and fast spots. The ridge was much more exposed then our own and the trails kept weaving in and out of aspens and spring fed green patches. I was amazed on what a gem the Highlands are and if you ever get a chance to ride it you will not be dissapointed.

I would like to make a correction. These mountains are called the highwoods not the highlands
