almost as high as you can get on a road bike



before turning around, the challenge of Togwotee remained. Togwotee Pass (pronounced toe-go-tee) (el. 9658 ft/2944 m) is a mountain pass located on the continental divide in the Absaroka Mountains of the United States, between the towns of Dubois and Moran Junction, Wyoming in the Jackson Hole valley. The grades were not nearly as severe as Teton Pass (5-6 versus 9-10) and the vistas were stunning. This is the most beautiful climb I have ever done ... going up there were enromous rock formations. At the Continental divide lies the Mountain of Two Oceans ... the name is obvious. Going down, the Tetons laid on the horizon.
