I was thinking about putting a trip together to travel the Lolo motorway, It would be a mid-Spring trip. The trail is not to difficult, Full of history and about 100 milles long. Any stock rig (4X4) with good tires can make it.

When I lived in Montana, and had to go to see the inlaws in Oregon, highway 12 Lolo pass was my favorite way to go. And is one of my favorite scenic roads still. Saw a big old moose there just nibbling grass along the road one time. How long does the old route take? Do you have to camp overnight on the trip? Sounds like a great trip to go on with my parents some day(dad has 2 zuks and tracker)
Wouldent there be a bunch of snow mid spring?

I was thinking about taking two days so would have to camp overnight. There might be some snow, but they don't open the route till it's mostly clear. I,m out of town till friday but I'll find out more and keep it posted
The dates would depend on the road being open

Ok I just got off the phone with the park ranger
The Motorway usually passible in late july may still has some snow drifts or snow on the road ;D (They get around 16' of snow in winter)
no restrictions on groop size
no permits
camping ok

I wish there was more in my local area.I love LBL and the couple of other areas I can get too,but there are so many cool places to wheel.I am jealous every time I see the great places you folks get to off roadl.But at least you folks usually take great photos,and I love that!

I found this slide show form the forest survice about the Lolo
http://www.fs.fed.us/r1/clearwater/LewisClark/lolo_trail_safety_files/safety.htm
Looks like Kamiah Id is the best place to start, I'm mapping it out, I'm thinking late July ;D. The trail runs to Powell Mt, I think I'm going to drive from Spokane (in my sami) to Kamiah do the Lolo to Mt and take 90 back to Spokane. I think that I could find someplace to park Tow rigs if anyone wants to leave from Spokane, or it looks like you could take hy12 back to Kamiah to pick up your Rig, but I don't know if there's anywhere to leave them, I'm going to call the Range station to findout

So have we gotten a count of heads yet, oh and have you figured out if we have places to park car haulers. The old man and I are bringing ours over on a trailer and leaving the trail rigs in Lolo at his place then drivin back to get the truck/trailer. Oh and do you know if this is a weekend deal or during the week, need to be requesting time off is so.

No head count yet,
The park range I talked to didn't know any place to park the tow vehicle's
I sure It going to be a weekend run, Fri sat and sun is what I was thinking

I don't know how people were still intrested in this trip, but talking to the park ranger he doesn't think the roads will open till late August, So I don't know if its going to pan out this summer for me

Did any of you guys do this run this year? This sounds like an interesting run to go on some year with my Mom and Dad. I was just wondering what the difficulty level was and all that.

I know I didn't >:(
Maybe next year :)
