Day 10 A - Boise over Highland Summit

Didn't plan it this way - the directions out of Boise were very confusing and I ended up taking a right when I should have taken a left. So I went over Highland Valley Summit - climb almost 2000 feet in 2 miles and scream down the other side - maybe 4 miles into the valley. Something feels wrong. And I can't find any route signs

I stop and talk to a guy pulling out of his driveway - and after a discouraging conversation I realize that continuing means triple mileage and over Sun Valley. Not !

So I turn around and head back up over Highland Summit.

The error cost me about 30 miles and two steep climbs - chalk it up to Teton Pass practice - and a few nice photos.
