The railway spur from Victor to Ashton has a long history. Victor and Driggs have wonderful old train stations and all along the line there are numerous abandoned grain elevators. For Christmas one year, Gary and Sue gave us a spectacular photograph he took of a steam engine with a huge rotary snow blower clearing the line. The line has been abandoned for several years and is a paved path between Victor and Driggs. Just last year they finished converting the entire line into a gravel path, perfect for a leisurely bike ride. We've been thinking about this ride for awhile and now with the trail-a-bike we all can enjoy it.
We started this ride at the grain elevator on Jackpine Loop road and rode to the bridge over Bitch Creek and stopped for lunch, then back to the car. The flowers are out, the grass is green, and the Tetons still have snow. It was a beautiful afternoon.
