- While the sections of I-80 in wyoming may be flat, there exists about
- a 3000 foot climb from Salt Lake City past Park City toward the
- border at Evanston. This section is definetly not FLAT by anyone's
- standards. It may be argued that the Wasatch range is not really
- part of the Continental Divide, but that is being nit picky.

- Also, I suspect that I-80 through Wyoming may appear flat in a car,
- but in actuality has some genuine climbs that a cyclist would notice.
