Shonuf, How many days are you there for?
I'm originally from Waconia, MN, you'll have a great trip.
Drink lots of water, as you are sleeping WAY high up and the altitude will burn you. It gets us who live in CO at 8000 feet, but up there you are sleeping at 10,000?
First day, ride West (flatter), Second day ride East (the best), Third day go south (you'll need a rest) and then 4th day see how far North you can ride by going East around the mountain. It doesn't matter from Thunder Mountain Lodge which direction you go, you'll find the goods. You'll have agreat time.
Drink Water
