The Route of the Hiawatha

We've been watching the weather this week to try to assure we spend as little time in the rain as possible. So today's ride is the Route of the Hiawatha. This graveled trail is advertised as 15 miles in one direction, with 10 tunnels and 7 trestles. It's a magnificant trail with glorious scenery. With our e-bikes, we rode in both directions.

Paula and I have done the trail at least 3-4 times, and never get tired of it. The only thing that's tough is cleaning the bikes afterward. You see, the tunnels all have water in them, and it's easy to get rather dirty.

Thanks to Barb, Kim, Ann, and Sandy, we only had to take two cars to the starting point. We fit three bikes in the bed of Kim & Barb's truck and their two bikes on the bike rack. Sandy & Ann had their bikes on their bike rack and had room to carry Diane, Leslie & Paula. What a gang!

It's a slow going trail due to the surface and the views. But check out our photos! It was worth it.

Me at the end of the day, loading bikes. Don't look too closely for dirt!

And Colby and Queso were so glad that we all came back to the campground!

And on the way home Kim and Barb spotted a moose on the righthand side of I90! This is considered good luck in this area. Good on you, Kim & Barb!!
