Spectacular scenery…but hard to enjoy it with the non-stop traffic…and the RV’s seem to be getting bigger! The route crossed the Continental Divide several times, with snow pack still on two of the passes. Lots of mosquitoes attack you seconds you stop ... Read more >

More perfect cycling weather as Harvey and I headed through the park, stopping at several geyser basins, including Old Faithful for the 3:07pm geyser eruption – loads of tourists, lots of them driving huge RV’s. BIG vehicles driven by BIG people. Traffic ... Read more >
