The Tranquil Lake Koocanusa Jaunt......... Lake Koocanusa has a gargantuan water length of 95 miles. Reaching from just North of Cranbrook Canada down to the Libby Dam. There are 50 miles of peaceful water in Canada and 45 relaxing miles in Montana. We Ride the Western Shore on the 2 lane National Forest Development Road - A Twisting and Turning Scenic Route, but there is also a 4 lane Highway that runs on the Eastern Shore, Hwy 37. The Lake is frequently visible, and the large size of the Lake allows for sweeping vistas of the Salish and Purcell Mountains. Numerous pullover spots also exist and are excellent places to stop for Photo-ops or for a Moment of Silence. Another highlight of this segment of the Jaunt is the Lake Koocanusa Bridge, the longest and highest bridge in Montana. With a length of 2,437 feet long, and standing more than 270 feet (depending on water levels) above Lake Koocanusa, the views from the top of the bridge are outstanding.
The Peaceful & Serene 77 Mile Yaak Ride.... Seventy Seven Miles of Majestic Mountainous Peaks, Serene Forests and plenty of Unencumbered Cascading Creeks. Yaak is the most Northwesterly Town in Montana. There are two Bars, a Mercantile, a School, a Community Hall and little else in the Town of about 250 Fine Folks. We will encounter Plenty of Rolling Rivers, Abundant Sinuous Streams & Copious Charming Creeks.
The Bull Lake Dash.......... Highway 56 unhurriedly meanders its way through the inspiring Bull River Valley. Bull Lake Road (Hwy 56) is about 36 miles long and T-Bones at Highway 200, an area locally known as "Bull River Junction". The Scenic Highway traverses through a Stunning and Picturesque, Densely Forested, Mountainous Landscape, along the eastern Shores of Bull Lake. The impressive Cabinet Mountains are chilling out to the East.
The extraordinarily peaceful Cabinet Mountains quietly lie between the energetic Kootenai River and the gracious Clark Fork River, which is the largest River by volume in the Big Sky State of Montana. The unflustered
Cabinets are also noted as being some of the most "Wild Mountains" left in the contiguous United States. You can also tell everyone that you put Your Loved One in the Cabinets!!
