Weekend bike ride

 
Sunday was a beautiful day, so we went for a long bike ride, 16.2 miles total.  Our route took us through the Brotherhood Bridge area of the Mendenhall Valley (our starting point is in the photo above), up to the Glacier, then over to Montana Creek and around the campground where we camped a few weeks ago.  It was in the 60s for the ride, but by mid-afternoon yesterday it was into the upper 70s and maybe even low 80s. 
There's a few salmon in this creek (can't see them in this photo though!)
We were hoping to see bears up near the glacier since the salmon are spawning, but we didn't see any.  We did see lots of salmon though, and some eagles and lots of blooming fireweed (it's bright pink!).
Look closely to see the salmon...

Me, blending in with the pink flowers?
