8. Wallace to Clark Fork
WALLACE TO CLARK FORK – 106 miles
Section 8 begins in the Silver Capital of the world: Wallace, Idaho. Every building in downtown Wallace is on the National Register of Historic Places which is why Interstate 90 had to be built above the town instead of going through it.
The ride north from here winds along mellow forest roads, with a stunning canopy of pine trees and ample opportunities for camping. After crossing the Coeur D’Alene River the route rises back up to high ridges. Take a spin up to the Grizzly Mountain summit at almost 6000’ for a magnificent viewpoint. The route also passes right by the crest of Grassy Mountain but it’s about 1000 feet shorter. After many more miles of twisty forest riding the route descends to the charming town of Clark Fork which has gas, and more importantly, a famous bakery known as the Clark Fork Pantry.
HEADS UP! This is Grizzly Bear country so camp accordingly.
