Goin' down to South Park gonna have ourselves a time

No foolin' in Hartsel, CO.

Looking up towards the day's climb, Hoosier Pass, from our camp in South Park, CO.

The highest point on the TransAm, 11,539 ft. All rivers west of here flow to the Pacific. We put on all our layers and made the long descent into Breckenridge, CO.

Facing west atop Hoosier Pass.

The bike path from Breckenridge to Silverthorne...all downhill. A great surprise after a few at the Brewery.

Lake Dillon along the bike path.

Thin air on Loveland Pass.
