Don't know where the junction is but if you are on 95 in N. Idaho there is a ton of places to see. Hayden, Sandpoint, Moscow, Lewiston are great little towns. Run over to Pullman and see UWashingtons grizzly bears. (there in cages)Further south there is a nice
Tourist town called McCall. After that I would just ride!!!! Sounds fun! Ride safe.

Definitely take 55 through McCall down into Boise. Better scenery and the road is much more interesting as it follows the Payette River. You can rejoin 95 in the Boise area.

I just rode 95 between I-84 and Cambridge, ID last weekend. I second Brent's recommendation of the 55. I haven't ridden all of it -- just from the junction north to McCall (we were coming from Stanley and heading north). That was a beautiful ride.

I personally enjoyed the portion of 95 that I rode also, but I like riding through rolling farmlands and the smell of onion fields. Others may not.

Another advantage to the 55 is that brings you into Eagle, ID, which is a neat little town. We ate at an outstanding BBQ place there. I think it was called MickeyRays or something like that. Very tender brisket. mmmmm

Glad to hear the riding was good. Last week my father and I rode from Joseph, OR to Oxbow Dam Cambridge, ID north to McCall. Then over to Salmon the next day. Lots of fun roads to explore in that area. We only went as far south as Galena Summit due to smoke.

What day did you do that ride. We were heading the opposite direction on Saturday -- Cambridge, to Oxbox Dam, to Joseph and on to Lewiston. We started the down in Parma.

95 is an awesome road. The part that runs along the Payette river is amazing! Have fun

Had to have been on the 9th. First week of hot weather. Covered just enough ground everyday to stay ahead of the thunderstorms.
I'd been to Joseph before but never into Hells canyon. What a great ride, miles and miles of twisties.
