There were moose tracks in the dried earth and ripped open tree stumps suggesting bear activity, but wildflowers and a beautiful view of the Tetons. Every pine cone falling and branch creaking in the middle of the night scared me. Best it out of there at first light. There was a dude ranch a couple of miles up the hill with a restaurant that was open to the public. Had a nice breakfast then went over the pass and down to DuBois.
It’s over 9,600’. I stopped at the top near a lake. I could feel the altitude effect. Highest I had been on a bike to that time.
