[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1251757, member: 11508"] Some thoughts, and I won't even charge you the standard two cents. I'd prefer--IF I had to choose--the Bear Tooth to GTTS, mostly due to traffic congestion. The Bear Tooth is SO MUCH FUN to ride, the GTTS is gorgeous, but more a scenic drive than a fun m/c road, IMHO, and so tourist-jammed the brief few weeks of the year it's open. Plus it's very frequently under construction or repair. And frankly, this year, it's so damn dry that the many many beautiful waterfalls that are usually highlights of the road are just--not there. A real shame. I do not like the Lolo Pass. It's pretty, but soooooo repetitive, just endless winding curves through the pine forest, no variety, and a WAY-too-low speed limit (55) that I've always heard is very tightly enforced. It would be MUCH more fun at 70 or so. Instead, I suggest you take a road from Missoula to Sandpoint. It's marked "200," not sure if that's US 200 or a state highway designation. It follows the Clark Fork River all the way to Sandpoint, and it's fun, empty, and beautiful. A great ride. Enjoy youor trip. [/QUOTE]
