GDMBR day 44 – Monday, August 28, 2023

Total miles – 1701.60 Total ascent – 112,603 ft

Sadly we had to leave Salida today. It was a really nice town and a great place for a rest day.

The ride today was a steady but gradual climb followed by a gradual descent all the way to camp. Totally enjoyable.

Half way up Marshall Pass
Lovely looking lake and camping area
A meeting of three trails
Near the top of Marshall Pass
Another Divide crossing. Sometimes they are vague and unmarked so I’m not really sure how many times we have crossed it.
Camp

Just before dinner a fierce thunderstorm struck. I thought my tent was going to blow away. I hope New Mexico doesn’t have these thunderstorms!
