Day 16. Jackson Hole to Dubois, WY

88 miles, 4085 feet of climbing. The terrain was flattish for the first 37 miles and then the climb started...all the way up to the Continental Divide. It was 48 degrees when we started, and 81 in Dubois. Today is the prettiest day of the trip. We cruised easily from photo op to photo op all morning. The Tetons, pace lines, balloonists, wildflowers, antelope,elk, bison and osprey. The Tetons were spectacular! We climbed up to the Continental Divide which included a major climb to 9658'. The slope wasn't as severe as yesterdsy's climb, but it was still a challenge. After the climb to the summit we had a 20 mile descent into the Dubois valley along the Wind River. Dubois is a small western town with rustic buildings. The town population is around 900. One of the hotels offers a free horse corral if you stay there. All in all, a great day!
