I scheduled a tour to leave in a week to Glaciers NP via Portland a long time ago and I've been slacking off on planning. Looking for route ideas and inspiration. I'm going to jam up to PDX next Friday 7/26 . Some friends are flying in and then we're going to get crazy basically drinking for four days. On 7/30 another friend is supposed to ride up and meet me and we're hoping to:
1- Spend 2 days riding/exploring the Colombia Gorge area. Looking for a good 'base camp' to camp out at and explore around that area. Looking for ideas on routes and attractions. Looking at a map it looks like there's lots of awesome roads and rivers and camping, but I can't figure out any must see areas.
2- A friend who lives up in SLC will join us in Idaho a on 8/1... something that's a days ride from SLC and he has ~3 days to hang/ride. He mentioned Hell's Canyon in Idaho as a meet up point.
3- From ID head to Glacier's NP where I have a camp site booked. My reservation isn't until 8/4 so there's 3 days to kill between ID and MT. That was the original intent of the trip but I might also be OK heading back West after ID and ride around down the coast, cut the trip a bit short and use some of my vacation time to work on some projects at home...
We'll be on street bikes. Camping most of the time, motels when it makes sense.
