A rugged canyon at the base of the southern Wind River Mountains, Sinks Canyon named such because the river vanishes underground near the mouth of the canyon. This ride is a loop from Sinks Canyon State Park and climbs up numerous switchbacks to the top of Lander Mountain. The view from the mountain, overlooks into the canyon and is phenomenal.

This road through Grand Teton National Park is maintained throughout the winter, but is only open to cars from May - Oct, leaving it an amazing spot to cycle in the cold spring weather. This short out and back ride leaves the Taggart Lake Trailhead and gradually climbs at the base of the amazing mountains to the east side of Jenny Lake. The return ride is an enjoyable descent.
