Day 43 Lynx Pass CO to Kremmling CO

A prefect nights camping, not too cold, no condensation & the tent perfectly pitched to receive the first rays of sunshine. Packed & fed we started for Kremling.

This was the day of steep, long climbs, fast downhills & breathtaking views. On no other day on the ride had we experienced such variety and an introduction to Kremmling’s stunningly rugged landscape.

Home for the night

Rush hour at Lynx Pass

The edge of the first steep descent

The young Colorado River at Radium

We found the store mentioned on the map. Fortunate not to be dependent on it – contents: 2 ice creams, a few energy bars & a dozen bottles of pop!

Amtrak pasenger train passing through Gore Canyon (the valley recently left)

 

Descent to Kremmling

the city is in the middle of the shot surrounded by desert, canyons & mountains one of the most striking & unexpected views I have seen

Farewell Mexican dinner in Kremmling

The last time we would be together. Dusty travelled on towards Silverthorne later that night to meet up with his wife & week’s break.

Tomorrow, after arriving at Silverthorne, Miles leaves for a wedding in Utah. These guys have been great company. See you guys in the UK!

    1. Yes, turning out to be quite a ride! Tomorrow, I will be 2/3s through – hard to believe.
      Great to get your message & are now reading the blog. I try to put down a little insight of the places I am traveling through & of trail life. So much happens every day, sometimes it’s hard to do.
      You were on my A- list for getting the blog details. Chris thought you had them so sorry for that. Cheers!
