Seattle!
Hi, everyone! Just a quick update. We’ve made it to Seattle!! We are excited to have made it all this way, but honestly a little sad that we are done. It has been an amazing journey, and we will miss being out on the bikes…
Our guide Tim had something special planned for today for Joanna and me. The overall plan is to explore Yellowstone’s Upper Loop, which includes the famous Lamar Valley. But, after exploring the valley in the morning, we left the park for something unique…
Joanna and I gave ourselves two days off the bike to explore Yellowstone National Park. We got an early start to maximize our chances to see wildlife. Our guide for the next two days is a professional wildlife photographer…
Today is both awesome and a little strange. We are riding through the heart of Yellowstone National Park to West Yellowstone, Montana. We will pass some of the park’s most iconic sights…
After exploring Grand Teton National Park by car, Rich and I were eager to get back on the road and experience this spectacular part of Wyoming from our bicycles. We had been looking forward to riding into Yellowstone National Park, and knowing that we would soon be crossing into the park made the morning feel especially exciting…
Though Rich had visited Grand Teton National Park before, this was my first time experiencing it. I had seen countless photographs over the years, but nothing prepared me for seeing the Tetons in person…
Today was a huge effort, huge reward kind of day. Joanna and I had a big thirty-mile climb up to Togwotee Pass followed by a massive descent into Grand Teton National Park with fabulous views of the Teton Mountains. What we did not expect was today would prove to be the most social of the ride…
By morning, the skies had cleared, and we were treated to a beautiful sunrise as the moon slowly set behind the tipis. Roosters announced the start of the day, dogs barked in the distance, and the reservation slowly came to life around us…
The original route for today was 75 miles to Dubois. That is a little longer than we prefer. When Joanna and I started to look at lodging, we realized there was another option. Just fourteen miles in, we could stay in a traditional tipi on the Wind River Indian Reservation. Who could pass up a chance to sleep in a tipi?…
At 6:30 in the morning, Rich and I were on the road. It felt wonderfully cool at only 59º, and we were grateful for the early start knowing temperatures would soar above 100º later that afternoon. What we didn’t know is that this would be our most scenic ride to date…
