Idaho Falls, ID to Jackson, WY photos

WOW! Here we are in our third state: Wyoming. The biggest climbing started just after this point. I had eaten a short way back a good lunch to carry me over the mountain top.
One the way up and up and up. 10% grade in most places for 6 miles. A lone tree stands by the deep cliff below
The climbing just keeps on going and going. A really tough climb for all of us.
But at last I reached the summit. 8,431 feet elevation. Then the 6 mile down at 10% grade lie just ahead. Some were hitting speed of 55 mph on their bikes!! I stopped several times. It was just too scary going beyond 38mph Posted by Picasa
