General Discussion / Re: Seattle to Boulder Tour :)

MC the route you posted is pretty much the route I took this past summer on my trip from Seattle to Illinois. I did not cross Cameron pass from Walden, just did the TA route. As for SLC i lived in Southern Idaho for the las 26 years and i really don’t know of any bike friendly routes from the north. One thing i would suggest in not to take highway 12 from Lewiston Idaho to Kooskia Idaho to get on the TA bike route. It is a horrible road, pretty ride up the
Clearwater river but lots of truck traffic and NO shoulder. The white line was actually painted on the gravel oolong side of the road where the road shoulder was broken away. By the time i got to Orofino i would have payed somebody to get me off that road, and i used to fish there quite a bit but on a bike it is a nightmare. I left Seattle on June 10 and had no trouble with snow on any pass I encountered.
