The Hyatt Hill Country was the opposite of the Riverwalk – really nothing to do but sit around in the pool and relax. Oh, and eat. Which was all fine with us! Love the trees here too. So cool.

We’re on a little 4 night / 5-day getaway down in San Antonio, staying on the Riverwalk the first 2 nights and then head out to the Hyatt Hill Country Resort the last 2 nights. I told Traci about the Riverwalk years ago and have been wanting to take her here ever since – stoked we’re finally doing it!
Traci drove home in the truck with the dogs (and her bike in the back) so I was solo the last 175 miles. I opted for the long way, following the Delta down to the Bay Area, avoiding freeway as long as I could. It’s great to be home, but honestly a little surreal. Were we really in Banff less than a week ago? Seems like a dream. Thanks to everyone who followed along on our adventure!
Traci picked the coolest spot for our final stop – the McCloud Mercantile Hotel. The place has been here since 1897! The whole town has a great vibe. Wish we had more time here. We’ll definitely be back.
Today was fantastic. And a total surprise. We both had low expectations about riding through the high desert of Oregon, but it ended up being one of the best / funnest rides of the trip. The scenery was great, the road was amazing and we had the place completely to ourselves. Would love to do that stretch again some day.
Breakfast at Lake Louise, a quick ride up the Icefields Parkway, then back to Banff for some bumming around. ‘Twas a day of perfection.
Motorcycles get rockstar parking, which is a big deal here. Cars had to park at a lot 4-5 miles down the highway and take a shuttle.

Words just can’t describe the sights one sees and the feelings that come with those sights while riding this road. And try as I might, I wasn’t able to properly capture any of it with my camera. You simply have to be here in person and experience it for yourself to “get it.” What a magical place Glacier National Park is.
Our new friends who we met back in Idaho, Sam and Steph! So great to run into them at the summit! See you guys in Banff!
Beautiful 2 1/2 hour ride today. Flathead Lake is amazing!
