r6ken · 08-21-2008, 08:51 PM

San Fran Canyon, Bouquet Canyon, ACH, GMR, Palomar, AFH. Oh hell now I want to take a trip to Cali just to ride. Guess I am going to have to make some calls this winter...

When you get to the bottom, head south on 13 for about 20 miles. Take 14 east up to Elk City...it's better than Lolo. Nice camping on the red river, then go back down, 14 turns to gravel at the top all the way to the east end.

..looks like I was too late. Did 14 for the first time 2 weeks ago...can't believe I hadn't seen that one yet.

plus, anything around Stanley, in or out and they're nice roads with beautiful scenery.

highway 96 i northern california. Only an afternoon away and 96 miles of smooth pavement, low gravel and twisties.

I used to live out there, sweet road. I suggest riding it at night since in the summer the day traffic is usually crappy. Old Spiral HWY by Lewiston is also fun...

can you do that run in a full day?

It'd be a long ass day... not near as much fun either... You'll want to stop at lots of different spots..

like here on Lolo;

Or here on 14;

same spot fromt the other side;

With scenery like this...you have to stop once in awhile and soak it in...

This is Elk City, off in the distance..

This ride would be best as a two day excursion. Just too much beautiful country to see. >350 each day. I'd stay the night somewhere between Kooskia and Grangeville.

r6ken · 08-22-2008, 03:35 PM

that looks sweet. i'm all wiggley in my chair, my tails waging. i will definitly do those runs next year or maybe this fall. (wishful thinking) first on my list
