A big day as we surmounted one of our most daunting passes and entered our destination state – Montana.

The Lolo Pass was crossed by Lewis & Clark so there was a great deal of historical information, including the fact that they trudged through deep snow pack in the pass on June 29th, 1806. It looked like the snow pack was gone this year well before June 22.

We rode a total of 57 miles today and have now passed the 900 mile mark on our journey.

The highlights of our Lochsa Lodge, ID to Missoula day in pictures. Making it up to Lolo Pass by 8:15! A delicious lunch at Lolo Peak Brewery. A great visit at Adventure Cycling with Max who offered us free ice cream, sodas, and bandanas. And of course we got our picture on the wall!
