If you get a chance ride ID Route 99 from Troy to Kendrick. It’s a nice ride through the Palouse farming country with a culmination of a 3 mile long 9% grade down into Kendrick. That’s the steepest grade I’ve ever seen on a state or federal highway. Then take the county road from just north of Kendrick to Dworshak Dam. It’s just simply a nice smooth pretty and enjoyable ride!
St. Joseph River Road from St. Maries to Avery… not to the good part yet..Avery to St Regis MT is the good stuff!! :)
a great ride, one I enjoy more than Lolo pass any day..being deserted makes it so cool!
enjoy !!
Idaho 21 from Boise north to Stanley 120 miles. Twisty’s, turns decreasing radius turns. 3 7000ft passes.
From Stanley Idaho 75 to Sun Valley/Ketchum Resort 60 miles. Home to the rich and famous. More twists and turns then over 8700ft Gelena Summit with a lookout at 8400 ft allowing a view of the Stanley Basin for 30 miles.
Idaho 75 27 miles to Idaho 20 then 80 miles of scenic mountain plateau’s and canyons to Interstate 84 and 30 miles home to Boise.
A good 8 hour day with lunch in Sun Valley. 340 Miles
The road from Banks to Lowman or from Horseshoe Bend to Lowman is a good one then you can go on to Stanley then Salmon and Wisdom and Philipsburg and to …..

Ah, The listing for Route 9 in my comment is a typo. Should’ve been 99.
I did that road about a month ago and will have another opportunity to do that road a back & forth a few times in a couple weeks.
