Did it Memorial Weekend. It's not the treat it was last time we rode it. Pavement took a hit this winter, so pay attention.... But still fun.
If you have time for a real treat. Turn off in Kooskia, hwy 14 south to hwy 14, out to Elk City and back. It turns to gravel out of Elk city, so you get to turn around and ride it back. No traffic and plenty of curves and scenery.....

 

Excellent ride! I've done it twice. Here are a few pics from Epic Journeys 2014 and 2016.

Rain and wildfires on this trip.

US12 is about halfway through this day's pics.

Like everybody else it is a great road have done it both ways and each time was a blast. Add it to your route you won't be sorry,

 

Going through Memorial Day weekend you may have caught the annual Lochsa Madness party. These folks know how to party.

 

Yes we did..see them, And yes they do party. They think we are crazy riding motorcycles.... Ya Right! We do it every year, Stay at the Clearwater motel in Kamiah..

 

Do it. The road is US12 and once on it, take it all the way across Washington to I-5. It is worth it over the Cascades.

 

I concur

 

Bucket list item.

 

Beautiful ride!

 

Both ways, every season, bike and car, probably 20 times. It never gets old.

Do NOT miss this ride. (That's a little piece of the road through the trees right at 3 o'clock.)
