Cycling Bear Lake to Soldier Summit, Utah: Half-way to Mexico on the WWR

We’ve now traveled more than 1,600 miles (about 2600 km) on the Western Wildlands Bikepacking Route (WWR). That means we’ve passed the half-way point from Canada to Mexico. Leaving Idaho behind, we cycled back and forth across the Utah/Wyoming border through parched, sagebrush prairies and frontier towns. But this is the WWR. And before long we were back into the mountains, where we cycled over high ridges, through scenic groves of aspen and spruce on remote gravel roads.
