Connecting ACA Routes / Transamerica to Northern Tier via the backwoods or the pavement?
« on: February 23, 2010, 09:37:54 pm »
Hi,
Planning a trip for after the CA bar exam!! Ideally, I'll be leaving from Durham, NC, via Transamerica to Yellowstone to the corner of the NW and then down the coast back to San Diego. Probably take from mid-Aug til Oct/Nov-ish. Some segments may be skipped, depending on timing.
The question for me remains what is the best route to the Northern Tier from the Yellowstone area? I've been mtn biking since I was a young, and thus thought to check out a segment of the Great Divide Route. Otherwise will stick to the pavement if that is safer/easier/etc. I'll have all the gizmos for camping, etc.
Has anyone done such a thing? Any recommendations from those of you who've done the GD trail? Other tips?
Thanks much,
