This video is the first portion of a five day ride my brother and I took during the last week of June, 2012. We live in Boise and eventually ended up in Red Lodge, Montana. I sectioned our photos into four videos covering different segments of the ride. Past one is our trip to Afton, WY; taking a rather indirect route through northern Utah. Our original goal was to visit Promentory Point, a historical desination where the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads connected in 1869, joining the east and west coasts for the first time. We got within 75 miles of the remote site, but changed our route at the last minute to ensure we made our destination before night fall. It was a good decision, but I will have to attempt Promentory again.
Part 2: Chronicles the segment through Grand Teton and Yellowstone
Part 3: Chronicles the segmen over the 11,000 ft Beartooth highway
Part 4: Chronicles a little known section of the Nez Perce Trail accross southern Idaho and our challenging ride in heavy wind.
I hope you have a chance to enjoy all four!
