All photos above are of the Rockies,
in Southwest Wyoming.
Much of today was spent traveling through the arid high deserts of parts of Idaho and Utah, before arriving in Southwest Wyoming late in the day.
The weather was hot (mid-90's) and dry much of the day, but at the end of the day there was a rare summer rain along I-84 after entering Wyoming.
Traffic has not been bad. The Interstate speed limit in Idaho was/is 65 mph, while Utah and Wyoming have Interstate speed limits of up to 75 mph.
I passed parts of the what was the 2,000-mile Oregon Trail (dating from the early 1800's to about 1869). It is difficult to imagine the difficulties faced by those brave souls that travel this route, and other routes west, in heavy wagons, pulled by oxen and draft horses, at best. There are a number of museums and interpretive centers along my route of travel and I was fortunate enough to spend some time in one of these.
My day was long, starting early and finishing late, but not all of this was on the bike. All parts were good.
Another good day.
