    The Value of The Bikes
    We enjoy the hikes - you get the up close and personal view on a hike.

    Many people drive through a park and stop at the overlooks or just drive the park roads. It is   pulled back view, but you cover a lot more ground. We've done plenty of that.

    The bikes give us the best of both.  We got to see a family of Big Horn Sheep that we would would not have seen otherwise.  As we rode by, a sheep was a few feet off the road but down the ridge a few feet.  We could barely see the horns sticking up in the brush.  We stopped and watched from the roadside and just down below was another shelf where a ewe stood.  But then here come the 3 lambs behind mama.
     
    A car was coming by, slowed to see what we were looking at, but they couldn't see it.  They finally stopped and got out to see.

    The first video is of two different bighorn sheep we rode right past.

    The bikes also give us more opportunity to be social. We chatted with another couple who admired our bikes and thought they would love to try it. A gentleman a bit older that we are was enjoying the day in his sparkling red convertible mustang. He was taking pictures of it with the beautiful background. We stopped to admire his ride, chatted, and took some photos of his beloved car with him front and center. He was very appreciative.

    Not gonna lie....air conditioning would have been great that last hour. But it wasn't bad. We had quite a "breeze" on the return ride...aka headwind!
