Last summer we had some great rides exploring California's Lost Sierra — an area just north of Tahoe and south of Lassen renowned for its incredible beauty and less-traveled trails. One of the highlights of our most recent trip was exploring the old mining camp of Poker Flat. To get there from the town of La Porte, it's a 1.5-mile section of steep jeep trail strewn with countless baby head rocks. Even going in the downhill direction was a major challenge, especially in the heat of the summer. Maybe not so bad for our four wheel friends and dirt bikes, but on a fully-loaded adventure bike it's like roller skating on marbles. Luckily, we all made it through. Hats off to ADV Pulse contributor @kennethm88 who did it on his Royal Enfield Himalayan riding on 70/30 street-biased tires, with just one drop for the record.
