Default Idaho is beautiful!

We just returned from a 6,000 mile road trip, which began at Bear Lake, UT. I'm here to tell ya.. we made our way to Twin Falls, ID and took 93 north to 75 north through Sawtooth National. You'll see why they call them the Sawtooth mountain range.

We got to Stanley, ID and rather than continuing on 75, we jumped on 21 and went through Lowman, Garden Valley, and hit 55 to McCall and the Payette Lake area.

The next morning, we took 95 to 13, to 12, and 12 to 93 into Missoula and into the Glacier National Park area.

I recommend this ride to anyone who enjoys riding some 65 mph twisties and enjoys beautiful country.

This is our 5th 5,000 plus road trip, but I will do this ride again and again. I put this area right up there in the top 5 places to ride in this country.

Rocky Mountain NP is a great ride along with the east side of Yosemite. Actually, I enjoy riding anywhere the open road takes me and relaxing with a cold beer or a tequila at the days end. Life's good...

Being an ol' Idaho native, I have to agree that this is one sweet ride.
