Montana,...
...From Pinedale (WY), and a mosquito dense region, via a one day ride in
Idaho and the Beaverhead National Forest, to the mining town of Butte, wide
valleys with thin vegetation marks are frequent. Different sage and alpine
woods are growing here. The route crosses the divide many times and long steep
climbs are present, as well as a lot of cows. In the northern regions, the
woodland dominates from Helena up to Glacier National Park and the Bob Marshall
Wilderness. Here most of the Grizzly Bear in US are roaming the countryside.
Until mid-June snow can be expected at higher altitudes, and very cold weather
is not uncommon into July.
Helena is the biggest town, with less than 40,000 people. The ascent at "thermarest
hill", challenges the uphill slope at Indiana Pass of being the steepest
on the entire route. walking can be anticipated.
At the Anaconda Range the main inhabitants are mountain goat, mule and whitetail
deer, as well as moose and elk. Time permits, the bikes will be left and Glacier
National Park will be explored by foot. Go to on
