Well did the first really big climb of the trip. Lisa and I agreeded to ride together so my mom would only have to make one sag stop for us. The ride up was beautiful--but so much traffic with no shoulder. We climbed from 5800 feet to 10,500 at Cedar Breaks. Enjoyed the 77th Anniversary party at Cedar Breaks then headed down to Panguitch. The steepest part of the climb occurred at 10,500 feet where we hit a fairly long 18% grade.
The next day was an easy day into Bryce Canyon. Nancy describes the day quite well--but boy Bryce has changed. What a tourist trap--way different than 8 years ago. Still beautiful--but way to touristy.
Another easy day into Escalante with beautiful scenery virtually the entire way. A hard short climb in the middle--but a very long descent.
Tomorow another hard climb.
