Often I have pedaled myself over the high summits of the Rockies, but only six times have I crossed the Continental Divide on my bicycle.

Continental Divide [the ~] 대륙 분수령[계]; [the C~ D~] 《미》 로키 산맥 분수계

I rode total of 3,200 miles that summer on my bicycle starting from (US) Salt Lake City, Utah-Grand Tetan National Park, Wyoming-Yellow Stone N.P. Montana-Glacier N.P.-(Canada) Waterton N.P.Alberta-Banff N.P.-Jasper N.P.-Vancouver, British Columbia- (US) Olympic N.P. Washington -Oregon, and ending the tour in San Francisco, California.

One of the most spectacular Continental Divider I crossed was “Going to the Sun Road” in Glacier National Park. Due to its old and narrow roads, the park only allows bicyclists their access through the road only during the off hours which are evening through early morning.

I had to pack up and leave the campground by 4 am to make my 3 grueling hours of steep climbing in the mists of clouds and snow. The Summit Park Visitor Center was located right in the middle of the glacier. The 360 degree views of the surroundings from there were spectacular. I felt so care free with long descent down the mountain to look forward to.

What a coincident it is! Yesterday, I ran across the story of John Denver. And I got to fancy of the Rocky Mountains. Thanks, I really want to see the grandure of the nature. Your writing interests me more. Maybe some day... -s.p-
