You never know. A few years ago I discovered that there is a species of pelican that spends the summer as far north as Montana and western Canada. Saw a half dozen in MT back in 2016. Always thought of them as exclusively warm climate birds. The American White Pelican. Look it up. Second largest wingspan of any bird in N. America behind the California Condor. Keep you eyes peeled if you are outthat way. Big, white birds with black wing tips.
- Interstates have very wide shoulders, and thus are generally very safe. You will, however, get punctures from tire wires, and it will not be peaceful, or interesting.
- Mt Evans is a challenging ride, and the views are extraordinary. Be aware, however, that there is no water at the top, and the expansion gaps in the road will drive you nuts during the descent.
- Because of the cleaning fee, Airbnb is not normally feasible for one-night stays.
- ACA maps identify churches where you can stay. When off ACA routes, you can ask. You’ll probably have a 50/50 chance.
I did it 20 years ago (N->S) and stopped midways due to the heat and I could not keep up my planned mileage. It started to get really hot S of Washington DC. So if you start soon going S->N it should be perfect for temperature management.
