Dubois to RV Campground Grand Teton Park RV Resort near Moran Junction
The KOA campground in Dubois has to be one of tops on my list of places to visit and stay. I would recommend this facility to all travelers.
The temps this morning are in the low 40’s. Pretty chilly for July but we are in the mountains. It’ll warm up.
We both had a hearty breakfast in anticipation of a major calorie burn. We were about to embark on a climb to the Togwotee Pass at an elevation of 9,600 feet.
We climbed for about 23 miles and came to a road construction dilemma. We were not able to navigate the road on our bikes. There was a construction pick-up truck that offered us a ride past the roadwork. We got aboard and were driven about four miles that got us past the obstruction and we were able to continue our ride.
The worker dropped us off about three miles from the top of the pass. We pedaled our way to the top and were treated to an incredible view. The Grand Tetons were off to our left.
Trust me…there is a higher power and you certainly feel it, viewing, feeling the air, and smelling the breeze. It was truly amazing.
On the downside of the pass, we were again ferried over bad roads. Once past the construction, we started a 17 mile downhill.
After a few “No Room at the Inns,” we found an RV campground that had cabins and that’s where we are staying tonight.
That’s it for now.
