Lindsey is preparing to explore the "Ringing Rocks" geological formation in Montana

Montana We first visited Montana with our friends, Jason and Kristen, during a road trip to Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest

We first visited Montana with our friends, Jason and Kristen, during a road trip through Yellowstone National Park, culminating at Kristen's family's house in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest.

Since then, we have visited with our friend Randy in Helena, MT. Lindsey has also taken a road trip with her Mom through Montana on their way back to Utah after dropping Keith off in Banff, Alberta, Canada, to start the 2025 Tour Divide race.

Keith has set up camp at the famous Llama Ranch in Montana

2025 Tour Divide: Racing (Day 6) - Seeley Lake, Montana 🇺🇸 to the Llama Ranch, Montana 🇺🇸

Day 6 was the day I finally felt like I was racing. After a rough, sleepless start, I climbed strong over Huckleberry Pass, got humbled by the brutal Stemple Pass, and capped it all off with one of the most magical evenings of the entire route at The Llama Ranch. 🦙

2025 Tour Divide: Racing (Day 5) - Big Fork, Montana 🇺🇸 to Seeley Lake, Montana 🇺🇸

Day 5 was a tale of two extremes. After the best night of sleep I'd had in days, I felt like a brand new rider... and then the day did its best to break me. 😅

2025 Tour Divide: Racing (Day 4) - Birch Creek Recreation Area, Montana 🇺🇸 to Big Fork, Montana 🇺🇸

Day 4 was a day of firsts. 🎉 After three nights of camping, I would finally sleep in a real bed, take my first shower in four full days, and scrub four days of trail grime out of my kit.

Today is an exciting day... I cross back into the USA 🇺🇸!!! This is a huge milestone toward completion of the 2025 Tour Divide. But first, I must conquer "The Wall" and avoid a large mountain lion. 😱
