Come explore NW Montana. Will be heading up to Polebridge and camping on the North Fork Flathead River. Going to be taking mostly dirt roads thru the Kootenai National Forest, Flathead National Forest, Whitefish Range, and the Cabinet Mountains. Nothing technical on this drive, just out to...

I'm up for doing the Whiskey lake route!

I'm going, but I'll meet you guys up there as I plan to leave way early and do some exploring.

A couple of things I learned from the trip. The Idaho BDR is a LONG route. I would encourage anyone doing this trip to take your time, or any BDR for that fact. This should have been a 10-11 day trip and not 9, especially if you really want to take in the side trips and enjoy the scenery. I...

FYI, not sure if you are aware but starting next week they will be doing work on the McGruder corridor and on the Lolo trail. The hours of work are from 7am-4pm, Monday-Friday, with up to a four hour delay. So when we get there we'll have to plan accordingly.

I'll be there Wednesday afternoon too. Probably be camping just south of Jarbridge at Pavlak or Pine Creek campground. I'm in a red Tacoma truck with black shell.

Serious question, and this is for my planning purposes. Are we going to be camping each night in a dispersed campground or a designated forest fee campground? Are there any nights we will be in a hotel (I'm fine if we don't just trying to budget)? Also, I know there are stops along the way we...

You can probably get away without armor, since the BDRs we're originally designed for motorcycle use.
