Day 3, 80+k to Traut Lake. Long, 2600 feet of climbing, we were tired, but it was a glorious ride on roads with hardly any traffic. The Glenwood highway was a very nice road including a spectacular downhill to traverse the Klickitat river. Mt. Adams comes into view as we ride in a north-westerly direction. The general store in Glenwood was a good rest stop, though no Twizzlers, I'd run out. A Payday bar was a decent substitute. Traut Lake seems to have many little weekend farm estates as there were some very nice homes and manicured yards on acreage. Beautiful area but the town has one cafe attached to the one gas station and a general store that had a small but very good wine & cheese selection. The Traut Lake Valley Inn is an outstanding little motel, nice resting place.
