The BAR Crawl - Bike Around Rocky was dreamed up by Amos Patrick during Covid as a grand adventure out of our front door to find a way to legally ride a bike around the perimeter of Rocky Mountain National Park. This route is not for the faint of heart, Cameron Peak fire and East Troublesome have turned sections of this route into hike a bike lessons in patience and upper body strength.
