Lolo Motorway Id
« on: November 11, 2007, 10:06:53 AM »
I was thinking about putting a trip together to travel the Lolo motorway, It would be a mid-Spring trip. The trail is not to difficult, Full of history and about 100 milles long. Any stock rig (4X4) with good tires can make it.

When I lived in Montana, and had to go to see the inlaws in Oregon, highway 12 Lolo pass was my favorite way to go.  And is one of my favorite scenic roads still.  Saw a big old moose there just nibbling grass along the road one time.  How long does the old route take?  Do you have to camp overnight on the trip?  Sounds like a great trip to go on with my parents some day(dad has 2 zuks and tracker)
Wouldent there be a bunch of snow mid spring?

I was thinking about taking two days so would have to camp overnight. There might be some snow, but they don't open the route till it's mostly clear. I,m out of town till friday but I'll find out more and keep it posted
The dates would depend on the road being open

The Motorway usually passible in late july may still has some snow drifts or snow on the road ;D (They get around 16' of snow in winter)

I found this slide show form the forest survice about the Lolo

http://www.fs.fed.us/r1/clearwater/LewisClark/lolo_trail_safety_files/safety.htm

Looks like Kamiah Id is the best place to start, I'm mapping it out, I'm thinking late July  ;D. The trail runs to Powell Mt, I think I'm going to drive from Spokane (in my sami)  to Kamiah  do the Lolo to Mt and take 90 back to Spokane. I think that I could find someplace to park Tow rigs if anyone wants to leave from Spokane, or it looks like you could take hy12 back to Kamiah to pick up your Rig, but I don't know if there's anywhere to leave them, I'm going to call the Range station to findout
