One of my favorite fall x-bike rides..
Back when they used to rocks for advertising aimed at the Easterner moving to the richest hill on earth. This would be about a mile before one crosses the C-divide. Now these rocks and boulders are providing the endless pump so many of us go after
Changing gears on some flat road that leads up to a multiple-wives zone that can often be found in the N Rockies roaded BC..

Indeed! It's Hell when trees decide to camp in the middle of a dirt road. This one was along the very busy dirt road to the takeout for Idaho's Salmon River Wilderness float trips.
Of course, in Idaho, a logger & chain saw soon dealt with the offending 2' thick Ponderosa.

How about rock roads:
See? Highway maintenance goes all to sh*t when you cross the state line:

My daily commute.
The road starts off paved where it leaves Boulder Canyon before climbing 2750' in 4.5 miles before turning to gravel.
We often have to share the road.

How about rock roads:
Okay, here's a picture of a rock road. No, really. It really is a road. Rocky, yes, and not terribly well maintained, but a road nonetheless.
But given that there'd been a few showers in the Seattle area that day, we gave up trying to follow it.
It's really all Locker's fault, as I once tried to explain in a TR (http://www.supertopo.com/tr/Its-all-Lockers-fault-a-TR-sort-of/t421n.html);, but the picture really is of a road.

Works for me, Ghost! I've been on a few stretches like that, and some log roads (Step 1 bulldozer; Step 2, chainsaw to fell the forest across the mud dozer track; Step 3 it's driveable).
