We finally got our bicycles into the Pacific. The mountainous coast made this very difficult!
A hiker/biker camp site at Cape Lookout State Park. Right behind us was the Pacific coast!

View from the top of a 600 ft. cliff. This was our last "climb" of the ride.

A huge boulder sticking out of the water off the coast of Pacific City, OR.

A wonderful Oregon coast sunset...these have not been common for us to see.

An amazing view over top Cape Lookout State Park.

Being nerds at the beach.

A wonderful view of a lighthouse.

We made it to the Pacific! Taken at the beach of Florence, Oregon!

Our last mountain pass of the trip. This was the McKinzie Pass, which was the Cascade Mountain Range.

Seaside, OR. End if the trail for Lewis and Clark..and Ross and Matt

4,200 miles and only one Chipotle!

Approaching a hill early in the day!
Approaching a very long 7 mile climb, which is also our second to last mountain climb.

Amazing views all around us!

I know this seems random, but there is a reason for the photo of the cow. Not a big shock, but we ride by many farms and the cows always are looking at us. It is also frequent that we will cause them to all stampede...the small things make us laugh.

Many churches along the bicycle route take cyclist in. The Dayville, OR Presbyterian Church has an awesome stain glass window which included a touring bicycle!

Cycling through the Fossil Beds. Ross and our new riding buddy Chris are wondering what the heck I'm doing.

We came across a tree that had nearly a hundred pairs of shoes hanging from it. This tree has no civilization within 35 miles...we are still scratching our heads about this one.

When Ross is feeling good this is the reaction I get.

Now that we're cycling with another person we have a personal photographer, thanks Chris!

Endless roads

It is nice to have someone to snap some shots of us riding...what nerds.

Welcome to Oregon!!! It seems sad at first, but we still have several hundred miles ahead of us. Who knew this part of the country is a huge desert?

Before we entered into Oregon we rode by Oxbow Lake in Idaho. Cycling around these parts is priceless!

We find some of the BEST places to camp!

The Salmon River just outside of Riggins, Idaho (Whitewater rafting capital of Idaho). We rode through this canyon for many miles. It was some of the most scenic riding of the whole trip.

White Bird Pass in White Bird, ID. We enjoyed a 10 mile decent at a 7% grade. Needless to say we went pretty fast!

Prior to descending 3,500 feet in elevation we enjoyed the scenery from the top of White Bird Pass. It was one of those overlooks that unfortunately pictures just don't do justice.

We are in Idaho!...However, after 4 days we are moving on, tomorrow we will be in Oregon. We entered Idaho unsure of what it would be like. It turned out to be one of the most scenic areas of the country. We spent most of the time riding along beautiful rivers inside huge canyons.

Chief Joseph Pass

The 9Th and final time we will cross the Continental Divide!

Ross throwing up a 9, last time we have to do a climb in order to cross the Continental Divide!

Montana sunset

We get to enjoy these views from our tents every evening. We're not really sure why they call Montana the "Big Sky" state, but we think it is because of the spectacular light show by the stars!

Wisdom, MT

A storm blew in, which brought a ton of dust!

We finally made it to Montana!
Apparently Old Faithful is not the only geyser in Yellowstone...there many of them.

Matt and Ross with Old Faithful! What nerds.

We have crossed the continental divide seven times. Each time is no easy feat!

The Grand Tetons are visible in the distance.

Scenery as we approached Grand Teton National Park.
