A quick break at the Saddle Peak Hills Wilderness area adjacent to Ibex Pass

I eat an energy bar, suck back more warm water and walk around a little to take in the views and stretch the muscles.

The 10-ton bike is parked outside the posts that mark the Saddle Peak Hills Wilderness boundary, inside of which mechanized or motorized travel is not allowed.

Torn caution tape attached to the posts attempts to block vehicles from entering the wilderness area, but apparently it hasn't worked.
