It was a super cold, rainy, and muddy morning going from West Yellowstone, were I stayed the night, and across the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge over to Monida on I-15. By the time I got to Hwy 324, the storm blow over and the sun came out. Cool spot.

Easy ride in, short stretch of dirt to get to the site. Really good view of the continental divide.

Hit this this morning. Nice ride over from Lemhi Pass avoiding the dogs on the way in. Left at 7 and it was 40 degress. Warming up fast though. Beautiful area. Didn’t realize I had crossed into MT. Headed south back towards Leadore. When you hit the Idaho side the road appears to be recently graded so a little loose in spots.

Fun little ride today. This one is easy access. I came from the East side and I-15 at The reservoir. Just pavement the whole way

Due to the snow, I climbed Lemhi Pass from the west, then back-tracked and went down to Leador, and back up over Bannock pass to access the Shoshone Ridge Interpretive Site. Beautiful views of the entire mtn range. Roads were graded gravel, and easy access.
