Monday walk…for the horses

In Wyoming, much of the walking is done by the horses, which means we can go much farther than if we were walking on our own. On this day we took a series of trails, some of which we’d ridden on in other years. But this year we continued on, the trail and then road taking us closer to the mountains of the high country before curling back around toward home.

Eventually the road, suitable for four-wheel drive vehicles and motorcycles, came to Lamburger Rock. If it’s climbing you’re after, this is a spot for you. We, however, just enjoyed the view. I always take my phone with me in a fanny pack so that I can take photos. No phone reception unless you get quite high.

Willow Creek flows rapidly and I imagine it’s quite cold even mid-summer.

All told, our ride took about 3 1/2 hours, a fair distance for the second day of riding. I know I could feel it a bit the next day. But it was a ride full of fantastic views. But then again, every ride is like that.

Here’s a hint for anyone who likes to ride, doesn’t ride often, and then goes on a longer than usual ride: wear a pair of padded bike shorts under your jeans. 🙂 Trust me, it works.
