Climbing up along the Lewis River

To get the most out of our day, we get up at 6am and are on the bike before 8am. The road into the park is still very quiet. From the free station, we start to climb slowly for a couple of kilometers through the pines forest. Then we get a view into a deep canyon created by the Lewis River, where massive amounts of water (due to snow melts) are making its way down the canyon.
