Kootenay Raid

I went to the Koontenay Raid last weekend. I spent a total of eight days on the road. The basic route was Salt Lake to Boise on the freeway (no decent backroads between them), then I headed north through McCall, Lewiston, Sandpoint and on up to BC. On the way home I looped through Montana to Yellowstone, and back through Star valley Wyoming and Cache valley Utah.
Here's a map and a few pics.

Seumas,

Beautiful ride and pics.

I did Northern Utah during the 4th of July week. Loved riding Logan Canyon, Bear Lake, and Southern Idaho, relatively mellow traffic and great vistas.

I like that area--Cache valley up to Bear Lake and southern Idaho. There are some really nice roads and not much traffic, once you get away from Bear Lake itself.

Good stuff Seumas. Someday, someday maybe. I'll get over there to ride the roads and take in that wonderful scenery

That's what I keep telling myself about getting over to your side of the pond.
