Western slope

Great ride today. 39 miles up and over the Rockies through Togwatee pass. No shade being thrown at Eastern slope but I don’t connect with the dry, rocky landscape there like I do a verdant, alpine landscape…lodge pole pine, birch, stunning meadows that look like their aflame, gorgeous peaks, wildlife…that’s my cup of tea. Last 10 miles of the climb made me earn it and the payoff was so worth it.

Weather turning cold and rainy tomorrow. Hope to catch a peak of Grand Teton as I descend into Jackson Hole. Will be there for a few days. Have a great weekend!!Read more
