Kicking Butt Over The Continental Divide

Today I decided to stop for the day in East Glacier, after biking over Marias Pass. I must be in a lot better shape than when I left, because the pass was a total cinch!

Here are some photos-it was absolutely stunning.






Plus I saw mountain goats. They're the white specks. I swear they're not rocks.



There were large stands of dead trees. Can anyone explain this?



It did not look like fire. Is there a blight or a beetle killing the trees?








After the pass I finally saw the mythical Couple On A Tandem, who I had been hearing about from people since I left! They bulleted past me on the downhill, but we managed to scream hello over the wind.

Now I'm eating at a place that makes huckleberry lemonade, which may be the most delicious thing I've ever drunk. It makes up for the food.

Thats all for now. I think I have a gradually downhill trajectory for the next few days-I'm excited!
