Today is the final day of backroads tour and this morning we set off to do some exploring on two wheels. This ride travels over some rolling hills before descending along the Tuolomne River, where we enjoyed picturesque views on the way to Rainbow Pools. Along
the way, we saw the evidence of the devastating 2013
Rim Fire, the third largest wildfire in California history, that burnt over 250,000 acres. Distance to Rainbow Pool: .
13.6 miles
I was so proud of the kids so bravely riding their way downhill on this curvy roads along the side of the cliffs.
After about 2/3 or the ride where the roads got really steep, kids and Andrew got into the van for the remainder of the ride and I continued to ride my bike to the final destination. What a spectacular view! I didn’t get a chance to take any pictures at this point as the roads were pretty steep and I was just soaking up on beautiful Tuolumne River canyon.
