High Plains Drifters


Bear Paw Mountains
Originally uploaded by TourForLife.org.
We started riding before dawn today and at sunrise we caught our first glimpse of the Bear Paw Mountains. For the rest of the day we had a distant view of the mountains as we rode westbound on Route 2 over flat terrain to the north.

For the past several days we have been riding across the high plains of northern Montana and during this time we have mostly been riding on Route 2, which is commonly referred to as the "The High Line". The head winds have been incredibly strong, but we are overcoming this challenge by starting each day's ride well before dawn in the usually calm, but chilly morning air. We are now wearing long-sleave clothing, jackets and gloves in the early mornings and late evenings as the night are becoming noticably cooler.

Day 71 Recap: Dodson, MT to Havre, MT (82 miles)
