Idaho SR 21, SR I75 Boise to Stanley to Sun Valley ( 2003)-  A fabulous road in the Sawtooth Mountains.  Challenging curves to test your skills, and awesome vistas to treat your eyes.  Weekends can find too much traffic between Boise and Idaho City, so plan accordingly.  The Sawtooths are a rugged mountain range, and these roads give you their best.   These highways are over 100 miles in length.

U.S. 12 Lewiston-Missoula, Lolo Pass ( 2005)  One of the most famous roads in motorcycling, I don't know what I can add that has not already been written.  A nice ride up and over the Bitterroot Mountains, the pat of Lewis and Clark, 77 miles of twisty ribbon.  Pockets of traffic are common near Lewiston and Missoula, but don't last long.  The curves are mostly sweepers, but as you approach Lolo Pass the intensity picks up.
