Not far out of Ennis, I saw antelope! Of course, that made "Home on the Range" start running through my brain. I didn't see any deer, though.
More beautiful images:
Soon, we entered Raynolds' Pass.
We had a lunch stop with a view of the valley we had just ridden through. I rode most of the day with Barb. She's getting ready for lunch, which is called "picnic" on our cue sheets.
In 1959, Montana experienced its worst earthquake ever, and you can still see evidence of a deadly landslide that happened as a result of it. Many people who were camping there lost their lives.
Another view up Raynolds' Pass.
We rode many miles around Hebgen Lake. It's huge! And, very beautiful!
A water stop with a view of Hebgen Lake.
This road sign has both today's destination and tomorrow's! That last 8 miles was tough, but we made it.
We're camping in a huge RV park. I wonder if the park has quiet hours . . .
Dinner tonight was at Bullwinkles restaurant in town. We were, once again, very well fed!
We're not going to Yellowstone National Park. The ride leader was told that they won't let bicycle tour groups ride through the park. Probably a good idea, since there's no shoulder and there will be huge numbers of cars, trucks, and RVs. The leader did, however, offer to take some of the riders for a quick trip to the park tonight. I've already been, but some of the riders who are from far away (Australia, England, the East Coast, etc.) did take them up on the offer.
I am very impressed with Cycle America. They are very organized, and we are well taken care of. I'd recommend them, if you're thinking of doing something like this.
