We have stayed there several times and the patio is freaking awesome for the evening cocktail hour! BTW...if you try to check out the hotel on Google Earth, you won't see it as they are using a 2003 photo for that section and the hotel was not yet built. Sucks I know....

CJ....you said 1200 miles as though you might need a couple diaper changes along the way..... At least you can pick up a couple more states and maybe even add a few HD tee's to your collection.....

Looks like a very nice location.

As for dates, mid to late June or early July works for me. Just need enough advance notice to book the vacation time off.

Only 385 miles if I go the shortest way......I won't.

For those who have not ridden Lolo pass (Hwy 12) you are in for a treat. There are many other nice roads coming and going in the area. Hells Canyon, FR 39 and Rattlesnake in Eastern Oregon, Hwy 93 in Idaho. Baker City is a great bike town to stay. If any of you need some recommendations for routes through Oregon, Washington, Idaho and even western Canada just let us know. Rickyboy, you going to get our Northern brothers to motorcade it down for this one?

Kris, the hotel looks awesome for cocktail hour.

It is for sure....but we need to get some dates firmed up quickly and hope that some rooms can be blocked out for us there. Middle of the week should be easier....but that is a popular place in the summer as people travel through the area.

I was looking at coming back through Montana. Just checking some motels near Yellowstone and many of them are already booked up.

Kris, I've been up that way through Grangeville and McCall a few times. I look forward to going up to Lolo and across 12. According to Yahoo maps it's 546 miles. I'm thinking up that way and home the other. Makings of a great ride.

You'd wear depends too if you could see the time I save on a trip by not having to stop for potty breaks.
