Default Boggan's Oasis

Thinking of a return ride to Lewiston area in June. It's been years; how's the road down the canyon to Boggan's Oasis? They still open??
How about the Old Spiral Highway? Any other's I should check out?

Boggans Oasis reopened last September. Rebuilt after the fire.

And, since that's directly in my personal stomping grounds, here are CURRENT pics. The original owners rebuilt it, but, unfortunately, they are very elderly and the gentleman suffered another health setback. I believe it's already in the hands of new owners.

Well at least there's somewhat of a silver lining. The Rattlesnake Grade is one of the best rides in the West.

Old Spiral is a pretty short ride, just a few miles, but it's an awesome technical ride. Plus Rattlesnake Grade shown above, obviously. US 12 from Lewiston to south of Missoula is one of the top rides in the country.

Oh, "Old Highway 95" from Whitebird, ID up to the top of Whitebird Summit is a must! And not well known!. Just get off 95 at the little town of Whitebird, and head north out of town. Only one two lane road, can't miss it!
