I Love These Mountains

Today's journey entailed two long climbs. First through the black hills, thumb butte and guthries mountain. Then we descended into three-way junction and lastly the most difficult climb so far ... A fourteen mile ascent into the big lue mountains. I kept riding til it got dark. I'm right at the pass in a tent by the roadside. Even though the switchback climbs were difficult, I was feasting on the most beautiful sunset view i've ever seen. I'm camped out at 6250 feet.
57 hard earned miles.
