Epic Great Divide - Day 12

Saturday, July 18, 2026 – Day 12

Barbara and John Nye’s Llama Ranch to Fairmont Marriott Inn and Suites, Helena, MT

38.8 miles/62.4 kilometers

3129 feet/954 meters elevation gain

Indoor lodging. Flush toilets, showers, electricity, WiFi, potable water, pool, hot tub. Laundry on site.

Elevation – 4046 feet

Not going to lie. I’m exhausted. It’s late. The ride today again was way more technical than I expected and once done, we had to dry out all of our rained on gear. Tonight we’re gratefully in a hotel. I was able to do laundry!

The most exciting thing that happened on the ride today were cows. Lots of cows!

Am going to post some pics and then sleep. Not having any electricity and cell service for a three-day stretch has really hampered my blogging intentions!
