Cycling through ... even on a double century ride ... has to be a great experience, even if the elevation, humidity and climbs make it a challenge.

Oh, it is. I first experienced it at 15 years old, going through on an extended road trip. There was a summer thunderstorm and it was just clearing out. The sage was fragrant and the views amazing. I fell in love with it then, and I remain so today (hence the moniker Biker395). Something about a sagey high desert next to mountain peaks really does it for me.
