2015 we took hwy 3 to Trail and we tried to take Glacier Park Going-to-the-Sun but they closed the hwy from all the forest fires. We took it on the way back and it should be on your list if you haven't taken Going-to-the-Sun.

2013 trip...

Just updating this.... Trip is all set. Riding solo... Leaving Vancouver, BC Aug 4; overnight at Toad Rock (near Nelson, BC); Aug 5 ride to Butte Montana via Sandpointe Idaho and down through the Bitteroot - overnight in Butte. Aug 6 Butte to Sturgis - booked in to the Buffalo Chip camping.

Ive done most of this ride before (except the final leg into Sturgis) beautiful ride - really looking forward to it.
