Day 30, 6/28/07, Heeney Dam to Fairplay, CO. 67.35 miles

Today we climbed over 4400 feet! We climbed up to Silverthorne and Breckenride, Colorado and there was actually a bike path in between that ran for about 16.5 miles although part was closed due to cutting trees. We biked a slow and steady gradient up for about 56 miles to the highest continental divide crossing we have at 11,542 feet-Hoosier Pass. It's the highest point on the entire TransAmerica route. By the time we made it up it was dark and cool on the top and thunderstorms were rolling in. We went about 12 miles down to Fairplay CO where we stayed at the South Park Lodge and RV park!
