At over 11,700 feet, Hoosier Pass was the highest point of the trip and it wasn't all downhill from there. \u00a0Plenty of passes followed.<\/p>\n<p>After Colorado, we continued cycling into Utah. \u00a0The deserts of Utah rank high on our list of favorite US touring locations. \u00a0Surreal landscapes, jaw-dropping sunrises, and wide open roads make the land of Brigham Young well worth a visit. \u00a0Utah, where the license plates boast of \u00a0'the best snow on earth,' rivals Colorado for mountain landscapes, so don't neglect this western gem when planning your bike tour across America.<\/p>\n<p>Idaho's motto 'famous potatoes' doesn't do much to draw tourists, which means fewer RVs plying the roads in this beautiful state. \u00a0Stark wilderness, fast-flowing rivers, and pastoral farmland, as well as 80 mountain ranges can all be found within Idaho's boundaries. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One last push over Lost Trail Pass and we said good-bye to Idaho and free-wheeled it down the mountain into Montana's Bitterroot Valley. \u00a0Then it was on to my hometown, Missoula, and a month of rest. \u00a0Missoula is home of the Adventure Cycling Association where passing cyclists can drop by for free ice cream and sodas. \u00a0Don't miss it. \u00a0Check out Missoula's Saturday market if you're in town on the weekend, have a stroll down Higgins Avenue, pop into one of the many coffee shops and enjoy a cold beer on the terrace of the local micro-brewery.<\/p>\n<p>A combination of Mom's home cooking and a stationary lifestyle meant we put on a few pounds (good for Eric, less so for me) and it was time to hit the road again in mid-September. \u00a0A short trek through Western Montana and over Lolo Pass brought us back to Idaho and a glorious ride through some of America's remotest terrain as we followed in the tracks of Lewis and Clark.<\/p>\n<p>Heavily-wooded forests eventually gave way to desertic Eastern Washington and <big><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldbiking.info\/updates\/update_44_pacific_northwest.html\">Oregon<\/a><\/big> as we snaked our way towards the Pacific Northwest. \u00a0The wind howled, but we pushed on into the thick forests surrounding the Columbia Gorge which carves its way through the Cascade Mountains. Surrounded by dramatic scenery of waterfalls spilling down over sheer rock faces and panoramic views over the gorge, we sped into Portland for a rest in one of America's premier cycling cities.<\/p>\n<p>From Portland, we headed to the <big><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldbiking.info\/updates\/update_45_biking_westcoast.html\">Oregon Coast<\/a><\/big> and biked south into the stunning Redwood forests of <big><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldbiking.info\/updates\/update_45_biking_westcoast.html\">Northern California<\/a><\/big>. \u00a0Scenic Highway snakes its way along the coast and offers some of the best biking in the country. \u00a0Coupled with the convenience of the many hiker-biker campgrounds dotting the coast, this is perfect cycling country. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>South of San Luis Obispo begins the snarl of Southern California, so we headed inland through <big><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldbiking.info\/updates\/update_46_week_in_the_life.html\">California<\/a><\/big>'s agricultural heartland, the Central Valley. \u00a0We were back to wide open spaces and simple farming towns. \u00a0From Bakersfield, we continued into the Mojave Desert where temperatures soared and the wind howled. \u00a0The wacky landscapes of Joshua Tree National Park soon gave way to the flat and featureless desert of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldbiking.info\/updates\/update_47_biking_arizona_desert.html\"><big>Arizona<\/big><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After a long, hot slog to Phoenix, we gained altitude and cooled off in the mountains of New Mexico, stopping off in Silver City as we biked through the stunning Gila Mountains. \u00a0Back on the flat lands, we headed for Las Cruces and then onto El Paso. \u00a0With all the talk of drug-related violence in El Paso, we postponed crossing the border into Mexico and continued on through the beautiful vast open spaces of West <big><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldbiking.info\/updates\/update_48_biking_texas.html\">Texas<\/a><\/big>, cycling through through the small communities of Alpine and Sanderson. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-6743-0-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\"> World Biking 2009 Route Across the USA<\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Our route across the USA\" src=\"http:\/\/www.worldbiking.info\/images\/map_usa_route.gif\" alt=\"Our route across the USA\" hspace=\"3\" vspace=\"3\" \/><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10,147 kilometers, June &#8211; November 2009\u00a0New York\u00a0 \u00bb New Jersey \u00bb \u00a0Pennsylvania \u00bb\u00a0 Maryland \u00bb\u00a0 Virginia \u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00a0 West Virginia \u00a0\u00bb Kentucky \u00bb \u00a0Illinois \u00bb\u00a0 Missouri \u00bb \u00a0 Kansas \u00bb\u00a0\u00a0Colorado \u00bb Utah \u00bb\u00a0 Idaho\u00bb \u00a0Montana \u00a0\u00bb \u00a0Idaho \u00a0\u00bb Washington \u00bb\u00a0Oregon \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6744,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[123,282,290],"tags":[364,291],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.10 -
