We woke up early to a gray skies as we rode back out of the park. I got on the road a bit later than everyone else and road alone to West Glacier. I soaked up the last few miles on the remarkable road We stopped ate a big meal at the West Glacier Diner. We got back on Rt 2 going east, which we would follow to the upper peninsula of Michigan. The ride to Maria's Pacewas extremely well graded with no steep climbs. We stopped in Essex for a free sauna and some sodas at the Izaak Walton Inn We rode east towards the pass expecting some steeper incline to come at some point. But it never came. Maria's pass was chill the whole way, and we rode together and celebrated at the top. It was the summer solstice and we we were on the transcontinental divide. It was a remarkable coincidence. We put on our warm clothes and the sky opened up and were treated to a speedy descent under blue skies. At some point Will's rack broke and he fixed it with a bungee chord. We rode into East Glacier and decided to grab some food at the Glacier Park trading Post. We stocked up and soon discovered that we could rent a motel room for ~$40 bucks. We enjoyed the amenities and prepared for the next day.
