THIS MOTORCYCLE ENTHUSIAST’S PHOTO, SHOWS THE CORRECT IDEA!
…This Gets Us Thinking Of The Road Ahead => Which Goes … Twisty Windy … Way Way Down Down !! …

The Thrill Of Motor-Cycling The ZMM Route On Down From Lolo Pass =>
……Way On Down The “Twisty Road”, Along By The Lochsa River, In A Deep Canyon.
…At Fifteen Miles Ahead, The ZMM Narrator Says =>
…… “ … The Blacktop Winds Down And Down …. Not Too Fast On These Curves. …” .
[ After camping along a woodsy logging road, next morning Narrator cheerfully continues => ]
…. “ [Chris] gets on and in low gear we follow the logging road down to where it meets the blacktop again. Before we start on it I take one last look back up. Nice. A nice spot. From here the blacktop winds down and down.
….Long Chautauqua today. One that I’ve been looking forward to during the whole trip.
….Second gear and then third. Not too fast on these curves. Beautiful sunlight on these forests….“ (Cont.Next)

At Lolo Pass, MT & ID Border.

Above You See What The ZMM Narrator Says About The Road Ahead.
….Below, Three Motorcycle Enthusiasts, Have Their OWN Accolades! =>
…A} This route covers one of the most beautiful sections of the Lewis & Clark Trail as it winds through the Rocky Mountains of Idaho and Montana. As you ride through the Lolo national forest, look for whitewater rafts on the Locsha and Selway rivers. You'll also see numerous steaming hot springs flowing down the hills along the way. Watch out for deer and mountain goats crossing the highway at random intervals.
….You have all seen the photos of the sign that says "Curves next 67 miles...This is the road! One of the best motorcycle roads in the country with lots of sweeping curves and a few tight ones. There is little traffic and excellent road surfaces. A rock solid 5 of 5 plus is more like it
... The same sign that says Curves ahead says no services next 75 miles. Make sure you fill up in Kooskia or in Lolo before entering this highway because there's nothing but trees, rivers and twisty roads for lots of miles!

..B) …[A] riverside route along the Clearwater River up to Powell and then 13 miles to the top of the [Lolo] pass. On a bike this is considered to be a must-do ride and the teaser lies just outside of Kooskia (koo -kee) with the infamous "Winding Road Next 99 Miles."
….That number alone should get you thinking about fuel, an issue easily resolved, even for low range bikes like a Sportster. Gas up in Kamiah (kam-ee-eye) or Lowell and then in Powell at Lochsa (lawk-saw) Lodge.
…The ride up to the pass is a never ending series of twisties. While fun, you won't find much rhythm to them. The good news is there are plenty of broken yellow lines which provide ample passing zones for the times you come upon a slow RV or other vehicle .
… Many riders hit the pass and simply turn the bike around – thus missing the best part of the trip – the Montana side! It's not often you get to ride a motorcycle at 75 mph legally on corners that were made to be taken at 75 mph, so this section is not to be missed. You can ride all the way down to the town of Lolo and continue into Missoula for lunch. A tasty sandwich at Cafe Dolce does the trick.

..C) We headed south for Grangeville, and then took ID 13 north to Kooksia, which was a pleasant surprise, very twisty. Then we took the Lewis and Clark highway over Lolo Pass. But on the way up to Lolo Pass, what a road! This road is designated as US12, and also referred to as The Wild & Scenic River Corridor. This is a great road, with very little traffic. At the beginning of the road, I saw a sign that said "77 miles of mountain road ahead", now that's what I really like!
….This road is well maintained, runs right next to the Lochsa River, had at least 8 turns per mile, and just goes on and on. We stopped about half way up this road, and found a small beach next to the river. We parked the bike and spent some time in the sun, surrounded by lots of butterflies! Very relaxing. Also, the weather was beautiful, with temperatures in the 80's, and not a hint of rain.….

Although The /\ Above /\ Photo Is Totally Appropriate For This Stretch of ZMM Route, Nothing Like It Is Near The Top Of Lolo Pass. ….This Is True For Both =>
….a) My 2002 ZMM Research Findings AND
….b) Google Street View (Nov 15), also fails to show any buildings like this near top of Lolo Pass.
Most likely this sign is at the end of the “99 Miles” close to Kooksia, ID, ….So … Can Anyone Send an email Re: Where this photo was taken?
