| Top of Togwotee Pass |
We had 1 goal today - to climb Togwotee pass and come back down. Togwotee (at 2944m) is the highest pass we have climbed so far. From our current location (Hatchet Resort) we are at the foot of the pass and within 100 meters we started to climb. It was a steady 6% climb and after 3 hours we were approaching the top when we were stopped by construction. We had been stopped about 1 km from the top. They wanted to load our bikes into a pickup truck and drive us through the construction to the other side of the pass. All the cars were going through in a convoy. When we explained we wanted to go only to the top they got a truck for us, and a volunteer on break, to drive us to the top. The top was under heavy construction so we took our picture with our driver (Dayle) and she drove us back to the start of the construction. It was a quick descent.
