Day 6, Juntura to Vale

We rode 59.68 miles at 13.2 mph and then another 3 miles in Vale.

This was another glorious day. We followed the Malheur River or one of its branches most of the day and a strong breeze generally blow on our backs. We saw another golden eagle and white pelicans. Louis saw a prairie dog and two roadrunners. The first part of the trip was hilly. Then we entered flatter land that felt drier but had more arable land.

Here is a map of our general route: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/246347445. It shows that our starting, maximum, and ending elevations were 2,916 ft., 3,225 ft, and 2,248 ft. We climbed 1,099 vertical ft. and had 1 class-5 climb.







Valel is famous for having thirty murals.
