Day 55

Bikeability Assessment



Our 71 mile day took us parallel to the Kootenal River along a high ridge. Needless to say, the scenery and views were breathtaking. We began our travels in Eureka, MT and finished up the day in Libby, MT. With the exception of the portions closest to each of the cities, the route was excellent. We had little traffic, large shoulders, and fair road conditions. We move into Idaho for a couple days tomorrow before beginning the mountain passes in the Cascades!
