Ennis, MT to West Yellowstone, MT

Distance -74.56 miles 
Time - 5:02:39
Elevation Gain - 3040 ft. 
Max Speed - 34.6 mph 
Average Speed - 14.7 mph 
Trip Total - 1176 miles 

Today's ride had everything good about riding  a bicycle. It had flat land, climbs, descents, scenery, and mostly calm winds except for the last 4 miles.

 

Followed the Madison River Valley into West Yellowstone; past meadows, lakes, gorges and mountains.  I think I saw Steve fishing!

 

Missed two wildlife photo opportunities. An antelope with two babies and an osprey in a nest. Both times the animals ran/flew away when I stop to get out the camera.


Tomorrow will be one of the highlights of the trip; riding through Yellowstone National Park!
