Sawtooth Mountains Loop - pic and map

[Grumbler]

Was an absolutely gorgeous ride that we did this past
Saturday from Boise to the Sawtooth Mountains, and back
again. It took 5-hours riding time altogether. My bud was
on 1990 FLHTC while my scoot is the 2001 1500 Classic FI.

We rode north on SH-55 (Payette River Scenic Byway) to
Banks, east on Lowman-Banks Rd (Wildlife Canyon Scenic
Byway) to Lowman, and northeast on SH-21 (Ponderosa
Pine Scenic Byway) to the Bridge Street Grill up in Lower
Stanley which has patio overlooking the Salmon River and
Sawtooth Mountains. We had buffalo burgers. Photo is on
SH-75 (Salmon River Scenic Byway) looking south towards
Lower Stanley.



Here's a map of the route we took there and back again:

Only one photo???? That area looks spectacular. We are hoping to ride that route on our way to Yellowstone later this summer.

Actually, took a bunch, but that was the best
of the bunch from the same location.

Here's the August 2005 blog from that route:
