    Haystack Mountain
    Great hike. Tons of wildlife. Saw three cow elk, two gophers, one massive brown owl, and three doe mule deer. Incredible top out 360 view of Delmoe Lake, Table Mountain, and the Pintlers.

    Failed summit the deuce. Elkhorn Peak
    Started earlier crushed it up to 8200 ft. Cue the snow. Post holed for a bit and then quit in sight of the top approx .9 away. Great hike elkhorn is a fun area just too early in the season.

    Very nice, relatively smooth trail. Climbs first 5 miles but well graded. We rode down to Beaver Ponds intersection and back up. Not a bad climb on the other side.

    Twin Lakes Alt
    Old two-track generally follows creek. Meanders through old clear cuts and abandoned camps. Went in only a mile and back due to wimpy kids. Mostly flat, dog friendly. Not sure if it goes all the way to Twin Lakes or not.
