Day 17 – Colter Bay, WY to 24 miles east of Dubois, WY – 88 miles
We are not alone……. Quite a change of scenery as we left the beautiful Teton range and headed to Dubois. We had no idea what to expect. Turns out we got a little bit of everything. The first 20 miles we spent looking sideways or behind us towards the Tetons. Such spectacular scenery. As we

Day 16 – Jackson Hole, WY
10 miles goofing off ….. Today was a rest day. That means saying goodbye to Bret and Judy, laundry, massages and a great dinner. I went to the National Museum of Wildlife Art. I’ve visited this place every time I’ve been in Jackson and LOVE it. It’s so beautiful architecturally, small enough to visit in

Day 15 – West Yellowstone, MT to Colter Bay, WY – 94 miles
Friends and a beautiful National Park – the BEST way to spend a day! Friends Bret and Judy joined us for their second day of cycling as we visited Yellowstone National Park, a favorite spot for all 4 of us, but more immersive and enjoyable on a bicycle. The weather was AMAZING and conditions were

Day 14 – Ennis MT to West Yellowstone MT – 71 miles
Who’s heard of Earthquake Lake? Anyone? Neither had any of us….. if we hadn’t taken this trip none of us would have landed on this absolute gem of a site. It was everybody’s favorite. The lake was formed when a 7.5 magnitude earthquake under the Madison River occurred in August 1959, causing the side of

Day 13 – Dillon, MT to Ennis MT – 71 miles
HAPPY JULY 4th!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 What a day! Pretty easy riding for the first 42 miles. We went through the gold mining towns of Nevada City and Virginia City which are both national historic landmarks (who knew?) Being towns 2 miles from each other and heavy duty mining (and railroad and thriving and murder) hubs, the towns

Day 12 – Wisdom MT to Dillon MT – 67 miles
More beautiful Big Sky vistas. We were tired from yesterday’s century ride, so we’re glad that today’s ride was shorter than the 74 miles we need to average. We tried to book massages for when we arrived in Dillon, but apparently getting massages on July 3 in Dillon is a big thing because the surprisingly

Day 11 – Florence MT to Wisdom MT – 103 Miles
The Big Picture Montana is called the “Big Sky” state for good reason. It seems everywhere we went today the mountains were cradled by the sky. Beautiful clouds, deep blue sky. The mountains weren’t in the foreground like Idaho’s but rather put a ring around our whole view. Let’s bore you with some statistics: Day

Day 10 – Powell ID to Florence MT – 54 miles
Today was a day of changes. Having entered the Bitterroot Mountains subrange of the Rockies, we went from rolling terrain to our first difficult climb. From our lodging we climbed 1700 feet in the first 13 miles to the top of Lolo Pass where there was a fantastically informative visitor station. There we met our

Day 9 – Kamiah ID to Powell ID – 96 miles. Best day yet!
Sorry for not posting this earlier, but we were tired, plus there was no phone reception at Lochsa Lodge and you could only get Wi-Fi if you stood between the dining room and bar, on one foot, while singing. So we waited for today. The lack of connectivity for about 36 hours was a slight
