7-26 Sunday

Grangeville, ID to New Meadows, ID - 89.39

We awoke this morning to thunder storms and the pitter patter of rain on the tent. It was only temporary and nice to listen to for a little while before we crawled out of the tent and were greated by another famous Don's Diner special... pancakes... my favorite. The ride started with a climb to the top of White Bird Hill Summit at an elevation of 4,429 ft.

We cruised down the side of the mountain range all the way into White Bird at 1,518 ft. The rest of the ride on the day was through the Salmon River Canyon, where at one point Chris and I decided to go to the beach... quite literally.

We've been cruising along these gorgeous rivers for days now so we bring along our bathing suits just in case. Unbelievable that this exists in Idaho, very relaxing before we got back on the bikes for another 40 miles! The rest of the day was a climb up to 5,020 ft. into New Meadows.

On into town for endless rootbeers at Subway and soccer and frisbee with Dustin at our campsite, Dorsey Warr Memorial Park, where I also enjoyed some wifi from the tent, awesome.
