I'm thinking about riding out to see my sister in Missoula sometime this year. Anybody have any recommendations for routes I should take?
I've made a rough sketch for both directions:
SF -> MSO: https://goo.gl/maps/6ky2zgk26tN2
MSO -> SF: https://goo.gl/maps/VuppSPsfekC2
I don't know how much time I'll have to meander around, those two routes are basically best-case scenarios. I'm not tied to these routes at all, they're made from looking at some "top 100 routes" lists including Idaho/Montana and diverting google's suggestions from 80 towards twisties in California.
Also, what's a good time of year to go? I'm thinking it's a bit early now, but maybe later in the spring?
If it matters I'll be taking a Monster 696. Fire roads are great but anything with ruts is a no-go for me.
Thanks!
