Lolo Pass is worth a ride

Greetings. You are going to love the ride. HYW #2 is a great ride from Spokane to Glacier. Don't miss Whitefish, MT. Need a place to spend the night, work on your bike, or just take a break. Coffee and porch light are always on.

Stanley Id. and just about any road to or from it! Try to get a res at the Stanley Lake Lodge if you can swing it.

I would also recommend the 2. The portion from the 95 across to Kalispell was outstanding. Its hard to say why - it wasn't dramatic, it wasn't that curvey, it wasn't even that lonely, it was just fast......great. Don't miss it. The 95 north from Coeur d'Alene is a pain though around the start and end of the day, its more densely populated that you would expect.

I enjoyed the 2 over Idaho's most well known curvey road - the Lolo Pass - which is the 12 between Lolo west to Lewiston.

My suggested routing would start at Lolo (its on the 93, a good road to connect to from further south e.g. Boise via 21/93 to Lolo), across the Lolo Pass to Lewiston (nice view from the lookout on the north side of the town + the ride up/down on the back road is super), up thru the Palouse on the 95 across the 90 at Coeur d'Alene and head north to Bowmans Ferry, then east on the 2 to Kalispell and so to Glacier.

Here's just a few shots to whet your whistle.....make sure you stop at the Two Sisters for breakfast, its great....just north of Babb on the US side of the border.

I came down from Medicine Hat at dawn coming from the prairies and crossing Glacier NP east to west on a most gorgeous day. Finished the day at dusk in Lewiston. Probably as good a day as I have ever had on the bike. Coming over the plains and having the Rockies slowly grow in size until they were stupendously overpowering was marvellous. Good luck to you Gerhard!
