After a decent breakfast at the hotel, we went off to find Lamoille Canyon. A beautiful crispy, cloudless morning! The drive up to the trailhead at the top of road is beautiful, going along a series of U-shaped glacial valleys. Parking area is at 8700'. (I did a hike there a few years ago - it was awesome!)
Back down the mountain, we turned right to the village of Lamoille and the beautiful little church on the corner. Then a "short cut" of about 20 miles on a gravel road along the foot of the Ruby Mountains to the paved road and a straight shot down to Ely on Rt 93. There's a rest stop with an interesting Pony Express exhibit about 40 miles north of Ely..
We have a room at the Ramada. Great prime rib dinner in a cell at The Jailhouse. Tomorrow on to Torrey.
