Sorry for not updating the blog the rest of my trip. Didn't have an internet connection for the rest of my trip. So here I am trying to recall what happened the rest of the time.

We spent a few days in Seattle. Evan's friend Graham had a few road bikes laying around, so we took a road ride in the city:
The city was great. The views of Mt. Rainier were amazing. It was a nice place. We also hit up the Pike Place Fish Market and a little bit of downtown Seattle. It was the first big city that we visited on our trip. There was some amazing fish. It was the best I'd had since visiting Sweden a few years ago. On our last day in the city we found a mountain bike trail on the way out of town:Wasn't like the trail riding we were used to on the rest of the trip, but we did alright.

Headed south to Portland that day and got to hand out in another big city for awhile. Portland had an abundant amount of bike lanes, bike trails, bikers, and runners. It seemed like a really healthy city. Everyone was outside exercising everyday after work.

We visited a dental office one morning downtown Portland. It was a nice experience to see a group practice in action. Didn't get any biking in for a few days. Mostly just relaxed and enjoyed the city.

After we left Portland, we drove down the west coast and got to enjoy views of the ocean. We camped out that night in Florence, Oregon on the coast.
I had never seen the ocean before. It was a fun way to enjoy it.

The next day we drove through Eugene, Oregon on our way to Bend. Eugene was a great college town. Didn't get to spend a whole lot of time there, but maybe I will some other time.

Bend, Oregon was one of my favorite stops on the trip. It ranked up there with Bozeman and Missoula. It had an plethora of mountain bike trails right outside of town. There is great cross country skiing in the winter and Mt. Bachelor is about a half hour away for downhill skiing. The mountain bike trails are becoming known throughout the country. The trail network called Phil's trail is amazing. Banked turns and great riding surfaces made it some of the best trails I've ever ridden:
We hit another trail called Tumalo Falls had 8 waterfalls along the way:
It was sad to leave Bend. I wish I could have spent more time there. All in all, I really liked Oregon. One of my favorite states on the entire trip.

We started our trip back east by heading to Afton, Wyoming. We stayed with our classmate Jaxon for a night. He showed us around town. We saw some mountains that were literally in his back yard. He said that he skis them in the winter after he does about an hour long hike to the top. Awesome!

We headed to Jackson Hole, Wyoming after Afton. The Tetons were absolutely amazing. I don't think I have ever seen anything as rugged as the Tetons. We hit the edge of Yellowstone National Park and headed towards Fort Collins, Colorado. Got to eat dinner in Fort Collins and spent the night in Johnstown, Colorado with Evan's brother Clay.

Evan and I made it home the next day. The trip lasted one day short of 3 weeks. The first week went by really slow. The rest seemed to fly by. Overall, it was a great time. I want to move out west. Hopefully, no one minds too much that I move away. At least for a little while. Just remember: you would have a great place to go visit if you made your way out that way!
