The Great Divide Mountainbike Expedition
Little Sandy Creek - Picket Lake
Die Bewohner von Atlantic City, einem winzigen Ort im Great Divide

noch leer ...
Willie's Handcart Place legt beredtes Zeugnis ab vom Wagemut der frühen Siedler, die sich - nur mit Handkarren ausgerüstet - auf den langen Weg von der Ostküste nach Salt Lake City machten und dann hier wegen des früh einbrechenden Winters elendiglich verhungert und erfroren sind.
