Lolo Pass (Lewis and Clark Highway)
United States · US-12
World-famous among long-distance touring motorcyclists for its iconic highway sign: 'WINDING ROAD NEXT 99 MILES'. Follows the raging Lochsa River through the heart of the Clearwater National Forest and Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness with virtually uninterrupted rhythmic sweepers and towering old-growth cedars.
Lolo Pass (Lewis and Clark Highway) runs 132 miles between Kooskia, ID and Lolo, MT. We count about 450 corners along it, which is flowing rather than tight. Demanding, and not a road to meet in the wet.
