Ups and Downs

Fri. 6/23:   Made it to Jackson WY.   ...  A lot of mountains out here. 
Yesterday's ride from Idaho Falls to Victor had 3356 vertical feet, but lesser grades, and spread out over 68 miles of up and down.
A lot of fields of Yellow flowers about 30 miles outside of Idaho Falls... Don't know what they are.

Last pass before Victor


This morning's ride from Victor had about 4 miles of 10% grade (2300 ft) climbing over Teton Pass (WY 22).  The descent was decent.  Also 10% grade for almost 4 miles.  Got up to 50 MPH!!
At the top there was still a little snow on the side of the road.



Teton Pass:  8,431 ft.
The rivers and streams are very full from all the snow melt.
