Today we rode the Going-To-The-Sun road. This is an experience few will get to have, and I was grateful for it. Riding the road is a challenge, physically and mentally; it’s about 50 miles long and climbs over 3500 feet before descending down hairpin turns on a road built in the 1920s and considered a miracle of engineering at the time. We got to go on a hike to Hidden Lake up at Logan Pass which was beautiful and saw wild goats that walked right across our path. I saw a marmot, too, scurrying in front of my bike in the lowlands. By the time we got to Apgar I was wiped out but we still had time to go into town and buy firewood, and I bought my first Jet Boil and made oatmeal for breakfast. I finished my Perry Mason book from my hammock. Life is good.
