A semi-rest day before our final push started with a 1,000 plus foot climb over the final pass of our journey. On the other side of the ridge lay the stunning Madison Range. We dunked in the Madison River, which has its headwaters in Yellowstone. For most of the rest of our journey we will follow the Madison River upstream to the Park. The afternoon heat is stultifying and the sun intensity very uncomfortable, so for tomorrow and our final day on Wednesday we will try to get the miles done in the morning.
