Early start but stuff to do.
Downtown Challis
Left John’s 10:30 am & headed for the Tea Pot Cafe for my 2nd breakfast, then continuing to follow the Salmon River up, and south.
Wind, temperature & climb were less kind today – made getting to Willow Creek’s 7160 ft summit an effort.
My reward was a much needed fast downhill & overall, a ride through this amazing remote, high land desert landscape
Water intake on the 50 mile trail was a massive 7 litres but was still dehydrated
Tonight, I made contact with Jackson friends, Bomber & Amy. Plan is to start detouring there tomorrow with ETA Sunday – traveling through Idaho Falls & up the Snake River. There is no easy way to get there – this is the longer, easier route. Really looking forward to the visit!
