    Santiam Pass

    April 28 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    A cloudy and cooler day greets us as we attempt to get an earlier start. Third day of 3000+ feet of climbing, topping out over the Santiam Pass. It is slow going but we carry on. Stop for lunch alongside the road before the final ascent. Summit, crossing our first mountain range (Cascades). Bundle up and speed down, freezing along the way. Arrive in Sisters, and find our way to our warmshowers. Arrive just as Rhonda arrives. Lovely shower, great meal and conversation with Scott joining us later.Read more
