Idaho


The first State Line!

June 16, 1994 Ten days after we started we crossed the state border leaving Oregon and entering our second state: Idaho. We also entered Mountain Standard Time.
After getting past the cows blocking our path outside of Baker City (Oregon) we followed the Snake River until we hit Idaho.
Our first View of Idaho - The Snake River.

After leaving New Meadows we faced a tough 30 miles of head winds along the Salmon River and then we hit White Bird Hill. A few kids called us nuts to try and bike it. It took us 2.5 hours to bike 11 miles - about a 4,000 ft. climb. We saw one truck that had overheated and one family video taped us as they passed us in their car.
Idaho is full of many beautiful rivers. Every where we went we saw people fly fishing.
