There are many great sections of road on this route. I especially like riding between Riggins and Grangeville along the Salmon River and up White Bird Pass- High Speed Sweeping Curves! My other favorite is between I-90 and St Maries - this is Hwy 97 and it merges with Hwy 3 approx. 8m south of Harrison to take you to St Maries. This is a tight twisting road most of the way -- a favorite midweek morning ride. Hwy 5 takes you west to Hwy 95 at Plummer, ID. There is an error in the directions of the original post -- Take I-90 to Wolf lodge/Harrison/Hwy 97 exit south around Lake Coeur d' Alene, Not Hwy 95. Hwy 95 is a nice scenic ride from Coeur d'Alene, but it is a 2 to 4 lane Hwy and barley passes the lake to the west by cougar bay. Also the map shows taking Hwy 3 out of St Maries to Hwy 6 before reconnecting to Hwy 95 near Potlatch, ID. Either way you will have an excellent ride. Hwy 3 all the way down to Hwy 12 near Lewiston is a great back road. It's only a few miles to go back to the Junction of Hwy 12 and Hwy 95. Or as Jim posted you can ride up Hwy 12 to Kooskia and over to Grangeville. So May possibilities! Lodging can be found in McCall, Riggins (BW Salmon or the Riggins Motel are both Biker friendly) Grangeville, Lewiston, and Coeur d' Alene.

Scenic, easy riding. Can get a number of other vehicles. Stop at Riggins for lunch on the way up from Boise

Have ridden the southern part, from Boise to Lewiston a couple of times. Great road, scenic and nice curves. Several small towns/communities along the way with eats and lodging. Very scenic.

This country varies from open farms to forest right down to the road. Along Coeur d'Alene Lake (Hwy.3 north) are some spots where it's like a jungle with the trees so close and the road so narrow. Loved the ride.

This is a great ride. My wife and I rode it last year. After being stuck in Boisie for 2 days due to heavy unrideable rain, we headed north. Mcall is beautifull. There was road construction in some places but nothing more then slight delays. At Grangville we headed up to Kooskia this is a fun road then hwy 12 to Lewiston and up to St Maries another likable town. The East road around the lake is full of twisties but watch out for the trucks with boat trailers they tend to use both lanes in the corners.
