7. Thompson Falls to Libby

THOMPSON FALLS TO LIBBY – 113 miles

After a short stretch of pavement from Thompson Falls the route turns to dirt and climbs to Vermilion Pass at over 6,000 ft in the Cabinet Mountains. Be sure to stop at impressive Graves Creek Falls on your way to the pass. On your descent, you’ll ride the shoreline of picturesque Fishtrap Lake followed by a series of fun, flowy dirt roads. After a stretch on Hwy 2, venture back into the foothills of the Cabinet Mountains through tight forested 2-track roads and consider the worthy side trip to Howard Lake before the last stretch of Highway 2 that leads to the town of Libby.
