July 7 Day 18 Sula to Bannack Montana 88 miles
Today started with a climb up to lost trail pass then to chief Joseph pass. Nice shoulder on the road and little traffic made a beautiful climb to 7400'. Then a quick descent into the big hole valley. Big mountains on all side kept me entertained. Stopped at the Big Hole National monument where Nez Perce were slaughtered by Calvery because they would not sign a treaty to reduce the size of their reservation. Sorrow...The ride continued to Wisdom then to Jackson then to Bannack state park which is an old mining town and now an amazing ghost town. We ventured into old buildings and saw the gallows where they hung the road agents. So cool was this old place in history! Everyone to to Bannack Montana, you will not be sorry.
