No miles on the bike today, other than pottering around Estes Park on a bike with no bags on it.

Two highlights of the day; I took the Estes Ariel Tram up Prospect Mountain, a small prominent peak in the middle of Estes Park, this morning and did a short hike to the west summit, the view from the top, almost 360 degree of Estes Park, was worth it, great way to start the day. The other highlight was doing absolutely nothing, watching Netflix and letting my body store calories instead of burning them.

I plotted a route back to the TransAmerica trail. Tomorrow I’ll head down to Boulder, the largest town I’ll go through since Missoula, and just like Missoula it’s a quirky, liberal city nestled at the base of a mountain range.
