The day started with a steep climb, really steep! Even though the veiws were awesome, I couldn't stop to take photos as I wouldn't have started again. Then there was what I thought was going to be a plateau, but turned out to be rolling with steep hills. Really tired by the time we made second breakfast stop. That was then followed by another big climb, ouch!
But it was worth it, the veiws were spectacular, and the downhill, wow! Switchbacks on an empty road, best road ever.
We're still in a heat bubble, about 107F. We stopped after 50miles in a campsite next to the Salmon River and had a nap, snacked and cooled off in the river before carrying on for another 20 miles to town for another motel and huge steak dinner.
