Day 3: Edwards to Steamboat | 80 miles | Yellow Jacket Pass – 7,428 ft.
Lucian's tent is the middle yellow/grey tent in the center above. He said he slept well last night as he headed out for an 80 mile day.
This shot is at the first rest stop on his way to Steamboat. He is all smiles.
Scenery
He saw lots of ranchers as he headed into Steamboat. He also mentioned you can still see snow on the ski runs. He'll stay at tonight's camp again tomorrow, which will make the morning's departure easier as they don't have to pack everything up.
The route today included a rather large climb, 10 miles long. This shot was taken right before that.

Cresting the mountain climb today. Lucian described it as an hour plus of excruciating pain. He is looking forward to tomorrow's 50 mile route, although there is a good bit of climbing with that too.
