A pleasant and easy day on the Great Divide route. It’s incredible how nice some of these GDMBR roads are—shaded and frequent streams, often extremely smooth and fast, and typically little if any traffic. The more time I spend on the route, the more I get the appeal.

I began the day in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem and ended in the far more familiar and less bushy Middle Rocky Mountain Ecosystem. I’ve looked forward to experiencing these zonal transitions and developing a mental map of their linkages. I’ll miss the berries but it’s nice to be back among the Ponderosa Pines.
