Written Directions

Start your route in the town of Sloan, IA (which is just about 20 miles southeast of Sioux City, IA). From Sloan just head east/southeast on Route 141 to Ute, IA.

Scenery

It's Iowa. Not much but corn and beans. It's the road that is important.

Drive Enjoyment

The road conditions change from town to town. Part of it is a tad worn out but still very safe.

Tourism Opportunities

Small towns scatter this run (ex. Hornick, Smithland, Mapleton).

The description of this road is incomplete.Instead of starting in Sloan, one should catch D-25 (old 141) out of Sioux City. (Morningside Blvd. exit on the Hwy 20 bypass. Head east bound at the exit. Will quickly go southbound) This will take you all the way to Smithland at which point you hook up with the "new" Hwy 141 which you can take clear to Denison. Great views, twisties abound. Many offshoots that also have twisties through the Loess Hills. Most excellent area to ride. Generally, minimal traffic.

This is not properly namaed as OLD Highway 141 runs from Sioux City to Smithland IA. This route follows the current 141 but it is a nice ride from smithland on I would recommend starting in Sioux City and riding to smithland then follow the rest of the route east

Came up to Coon Rapids from Addair/White Pole Rd jumped on 141 in Coon Rapids, this was part of our route from Des Moines to Sioux City to get off the boring slab. Picked up Old 141 in Smithland, (there is a right-hand lane for it if you are riding west just past or at Smithland Country Store) rode to US-75/US-20 interchange. Pavement was okay, if memory serves, rough in a few places, but a curvy, fun road with hardly any traffic. I am sure there were some views here and there, but don’t recall them. Actually rode the 141 part from Sloan to Smithland (authors description) on return trip home, if I recall better road surface than Old 141, but more traffic and doesn’t have the twists. Like the Old 141 section better.
