We had a beautiful day and are surprised that we have new aches and pains and are tired. Riding through the park was perfect — cool, excellent shoulder, easy cycling in high gear and many sights. We stopped many times to take pictures — saw 9 elk, 1 deer, 9 molting sheep, eight plus brown mountain goats, 2 white mountain goats. When we left the Park Valley there was a stinker of a long hill just to let us know we weren’t free of hills and then many rolling foothills — some were really fun cruising down with enough speed to make climbing easy. We were on the road 5½ hours so even with the many stops it’s still a lot of sitting.
