I've been all over those roads many times. *From Chico I would head towards Ontario OR at the Idaho border instead of straight up to the Columbia. *From there cross into ID and head SE for a few miles on 52 to 55 north. *Beautiful ride. *Above Meadows, you'll run into 95 north to Grangeville or take the old White Bird route (windy and old) to Grangeville. *Now, road 13, to Kooskia is OK but for the most scenic route I'd run up 95 a few more (fast) miles to Lewiston in order to take in as much of hiway 12 east to MT as possible. *For well over a hundred miles you ride along a river's edge on one side or the other on your way to the Lolo Pass.

From Lolo ride thru Missoula and take the I-90 slab for a couple miles to the 200 cutoff and ride that to 83 north. *Waaaay better and less traveled than 93 towards Flathead. *Once north of Flathead most any northern road will take you to Kalispell or Columbia Falls on the way to West Glacier. *The GTTSR is a great, if slow ride across the park and the road around the souther tip and north on the east side is well worth the ride as well. *Ride all the way to Canada north of Babb for pics and some very fast straightaways.. *Great Huckleberry shakes at some little place just north of the eastern park's entrance, whose name I can't remember. Just past the last gas station on the left on the way to Canada. *Have fun! *Bring warm clothes.
