Missoula to just past Hamilton

We had a very relaxing day off in Missoula and enjoyed great meals at some of my favorite restaurants: The Shack, The Old Post and Food for Thought.  We peddled a relatively easy 59 miles along the beautiful Bitterroot Valley, which included a 40-mile bike path between Lolo and Hamilton.  We also visited Travelers Rest, where the Lewis and Clark expedition rested both going to the Pacific and returning.  This state park is much more developed than on my previous visits and well worth the time.  Tomorrow will be a bit tougher as we climb 7,241 foot Chief Joseph Pass.
