Lolo Motorway // Idaho BDR

[@michaelroth6273]

I did the Lolo and the MacGruder a couple years ago and the Lolo was way harder. Monster erosion ruts we had seem to be gone. Your photos are so much more beautiful than mine I can’t help but wonder what I was doing wrong. Great job!

[@DeweyRides]

So. I did this in 2018. So it might have been before you. It's just so beautiful I wanted to share the video, even if it was old. It's an amazing place for sure though to go ride bikes. I also didn't film it all, there were some more difficult sections that I didn't get the camera turned on for. It was def more difficult than MacGruder was.

Beautiful scenery! it really makes me want an ADV bike.

[@DeweyRides]

Ya. Incredible spot. Cheers and thanks for watching!!

@@DeweyRides I'm slowly converting my TW200 to an ADV Dubs.

[@DeweyRides]

@@dirtcopdualsport - TWs can go anywhere, as long as you aren't in a hurry. Fun little machines.

Got to Missoula mt yesterday, going to be here exploring on my Africa twin plan on riding the lolo motorway and magruder. Great video, I’ll be here for the next 3 months checking out Idaho and Montana

[@DeweyRides]

You will have a blast. Some of the high elevation stuff like Lolo won't be open yet, but there is tons to explore.

[@camsprocket1]

Thank you for this video. There are not a lot of views of that 500 motorway where you can really see the roadway and what to expect.

[@DeweyRides]

It's an amazing ride. This video is a few years old now, so conditions up there can change a lot year to year. It is really one of the most amazing rides you can do, and I have done a lot of riding to compare. I hope you give it a go. It's a pretty special place to go see.

[@DeweyRides]

I would also suggest you stop in the Ranger Station and just ask about the condition of the road. It also lets them know you are up there.

Amazingly beautiful area 🥰

[@DeweyRides]

Ya it really is!! Thanks for checking out the video.

[@rabidadventures]

Awesome ride and beautiful views! Gotta love it!! 😃

[@DeweyRides]

Yes. That is a ride I will do again. Thanks for watching!

[@PurpleOnThree]

Wow! Thanks for taking me along! That is probably not something I will ever get to see in person, so thank you! That is really cool info about the post office...what is the Devil's Chair? Loved all the pics too and the drone shot of your campsite! Just breathtaking! 👍🏍😊💜

[@DeweyRides]

Devil's chair is that big granite rock, because it looks like a chair. Thanks for watching. It is a very cool area and it is sad more people don't get to see it, bit it being so remote is part of what makes it so neat.

[@PurpleOnThree]

@@DeweyRides I will have to go back and pay attention to where the sign for the devil's chair was...

[@DeweyRides]

@@PurpleOnThree - Ya, just before the part where we are standing the sign, there are a couple of pictures of the rock, I tried to frame on of them so it looks like a chair, it's kind of hard to spot.

[@PurpleOnThree]

@@DeweyRides found it and now I see the "chair" thank you! 😊

[@HippoDrones]

What an awesome trip, lovely camp spot too. I never realised Superman and Louis Lane travelled along there? 😉

[@DeweyRides]

Haha. Is Lewis and Clark's trip across America something that people over on that side of the pond don't know much about? I guess I take it for granted that everyone learns about like we do here. But no no no, they are not the same as Louis and Clark Kent. Haha. Lewis was not nearly the looker Louis is.

[@HippoDrones]

@@DeweyRides haha 😄 I did read the description in the vid first 😅 I think I watched a film about it recently, didn't they claim the land from the Mexicans?

[@DeweyRides]

@@HippoDrones Not exactly. Mexico and parts of what is now SW USA, was still under Spanish control. The US bought a large chunk of of what is now the Midwest US from the French, so lewis and Clark were tasked with going and finding a route through the newly purchased land and then on to the Pacific ocean. The parts that are now Oregon and Washington where not claimed by any of the European countries, it was all Native American land. There were a few French and also a few Russian for traders who were in this area, by for the most part this was all frontier and the only people where where the Indians here.

@@DeweyRides :-)

[@SHHHMotoTravels]

Wow !! That’s such an awesome place. New sub here, I saw your name on Purple on Three. The video is so well done !! Cheers !!

[@DeweyRides]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It is an amazing place, that so few people ever go to, I am glad to get to share it.

[@SHHHMotoTravels]

@@DeweyRides Well done !!

[@PaulsMotoZen]

Kind of crazy to think someone said. "Lets build a road on the side of the mountain."

[@DeweyRides]

Ya. What amazed me, is before the road was there, that was the route the footpath took that the native Americans used and took Lewis and Clark on.

[@PaulsMotoZen]

@@DeweyRides Now that is pretty cool to know.

[@mikegunn3152]

How many miles is the LoLo Motorway. I have ridden LoLo on the roads Via Harley Davidson. I also adventure bike as well.

[@DeweyRides]

I think it's about 75 miles or so, for the unpaved part.
