Grangeville, Id- Riggins, Id
Miles: 50
Sleep: tent; Riverside campground
Eat: smoothie place to the right of the park

Today was an interesting day. We could choose between two routes: The
first was full of switchbacks, construction and gravel ( we were
warned) and the second was a shorter busy high way with a sholder.
With the quote, "When at a crossroads in life, take the path less
travelled" buzzing in our heads, Bryn, Lee and I chose the switchbacks
to spice things up. ( old 95) It turned out to be the right decision
in our opinion! The views were spectacular. I think the view
overlooking the town of White Bird might be the best high top view of
the entire Transam. The ride down Old 95 was really fun too. There was
sand on the road and a little bit of construction at the top but not
much. Definitely still a really fun descent full of switch backs. We
followed the Salmon River the rest of the way into town. This is
apparently the best rafting place in the USA.
Camping next to the river is truly amazing. It ensures a restful night.
