Crossing the Nevada Desert
Day 3 Original Plan: Travel from Twin Falls, ID to Cody, WY with a pit-stop through Yellowstone.

New Day 3 Plan: Travel from Truckee, CA to Twin Falls, ID and find a place to RIDE.
We got up early and started the loooooong trek across the Nevada Desert. Not a lot to see and not much fun. Our entertainment was watching the RAV4 outdoor temperature gauge go up while we maintained a temperate 74 degrees inside our vehicle.

| Scenic view during lunch. |
Somewhere along the way, we found a scenic place to eat lunch. Strangely it was called the California Trail even though it was in Nevada. Hmmm.
Off and on, we found some relatively interesting landmarks and scenery. It’s sad when a tunnel is your excitement for the day.
Suddenly, we stumbled on this teeny tiny rest stop. We both got a glimpse of a canyon and we immediately pulled in.
FINALLY, something interesting and it’s almost dinner time. We took a moment to hike a little ways up the small river and got our feet wet. It felt so refreshing. Aaaah, not much farther to Twin Falls, ID.

| Entrance to Skull Trail |
We were so sick of being in the car. We checked into our hotel, Googled for info on local trails and we were off to a trail called Skull Trail. A great trail system right in the middle of the arid hilly terrain.
