They don't call Montana "big sky country" for nothing. We rode 100 miles through the high plains today. In the far distance of this picture you can see the snow covered mountains. I think they're the same ones we saw heading into Missoula. Our elevation started at about 3200 ft in Missoula and we ended at 4938 ft in Avon. We almost hit the mile high mark on the way, just 100 ft shy. The roads were much better today so riding was easier. This morning we woke up to rain and lightning but it cleared up and was a comfortable day.
We are staying at a campground that has cabins and rain is in the forecast, so tonight I'm in the cabin, still using my sleep pad and down sleeping bag.
Tomorrow we have a short day over the continental divide. Then it's downhill from there.
