This was a fantastic trip. This trip report is a little sketchy on details, as I did not keep a journal of it at the time, so having to recreate it just from the pictures and where we stayed each night. This trip was cross-country for the first 4 days. While the mileages those days were not difficult, the terrain and passes made it challenging, at least for us. Also it had been a heavy snow year, so there was a bit of crossing snow fields. It also made for great views.
