Up and over soldier summit

Big day in store for us. A 40 mile climb with a 7400+ ft summit. Day is sunny but chilly. Mountains are beautiful, especially with their white caps. Head away from gowns and into the river canyon. This route is still used Bt trains and thus the gradient is reasonable. That also means that a lot of trucks go this way. Beautiful scenery which changes as we ascend and then descend. Way quicker down though end at Helper at 5700 feet. Get groceries and find our campground.Read more
