September snow means hurry, ride your bike

Thursday's snow was a reminder that winter and ski season are just around the corner, prompting us to get out for a long bike ride from Driggs, ID up to Grand Targhee Ski Resort in Caribou-Targhee National Forest. The elevation in the valley is about 6,200' and we climbed to an elevation of about 7,400' at the top of the hill. Grand Targhee's summer season just ended and the winter season begins in November, so we had almost exclusive use of Ski Hill Road leading up to the resort.
