The Continental Divide crosses through where we are boondocking and we rode a portion of it the other day and another section today. This time we headed north towards the Our Lady of the Rockies statue. The out and back was 17 miles with 2717′ of climbing up to the highpoint of 8200′. Most of …
We’re solidly in Montana now, boondocking by Butte. Neither of has ever ridden here and there is a lot to check out. Our first ride was a figure 8 of sorts that incorporated some of the trails of Thompson Park. Our adventure was 16.7 miles with 2569′ of climbing topping out around 7450′. We parked …
There are quite a few lakes in the Island Park/ West Yellowstone area. We road to Sheep Lake, Coffin Lake, and Hebgen Lake. On one of our days off we went from camp to check out Henry Lake. There’s a state park at Henry Lake but we are camped on a back road to it …
