I have done the Lolo Pass in both directions and it is a great ride. Don't forget to stop and enjoy some of the wonderful scenery! Oh, and watch for wildlife!

1200 miles of twisties
Great 4 day ride from N. Idaho -to- Boise, back through (Hwy21) Idaho City, Lowman, Stanely (Sawtooth Mountains), Salmon (Hwy 93) - up over Lolo Pass. On this route, I don't think there is a straight stretch of road more than 5 miles long. I used and abused my Nomad, but like a steady steed, the Nomad put it's head down and powered through it all.
Last time on this route, I was focused on the Lewis and Clark Exp., this time I was more interested in the trials/tribulations of the Nez Perce tribes as they were forced to leave there homelands in the Wallowa Valley (Oregon), and Central Idaho. Ride Idaho!!
