Continental Divide

Today we climbed. About 3,500 feet up the Going To The Sun road over Logan Pass at 6,664 feet. The climb was long, but the scenery spectacular. We are now east of the Continental divide. All downhill from here. right?

Sal & Debbie did show up at Avalanche Campground later in the evening last night. So the four of us climbed Logan Pass together. It took us 2 hours 50 minutes to ride the 16 miles to the top. Just a nice slow grind - slow and steady. The road itself is an engineering marvel cut into the side of cliffs as it slowly climbs its way up.

Now we are in Babb, Montana which is located just east of Glacier NP. The large jagged mountains are now replaced by much smaller rolling hills.

Miles today = 43

Total miles = 1,044
