Ride Along the Scenic Highway 75 in Idaho

[MotoSam_imp]

Last week my brother, dad, and myself took a ride from Salt Lake City to Priest Lake in northern Idaho.

I brought my GoPro and took random videos along the way.

This is the first video I've uploaded. It was taken along a stretch of Highway 75 that runs right next to the Salmon River.

Nice road. Very scenic.

Nice!

Do you have the camera mounted on your chest? Never seen that perspective before.

Yeah, I used the "Chesty" mount. It looks better without the tank bag on.

Very cool! I was up at Priest Lake a few weeks ago (in the plane instead of the bike).

That stretch of road looks familiar, but I don't know where highway 75 is. To me it looked a lot like U.S. 95 north of Hell's Canyon.

I love riding in Idaho. I just wish it didn't take so long to get there from Phoenix.

Next time you're up there, try U.S. 12 from Kooskia to Missoula. The best biking road I've ever ridden.

75 runs pretty much parallel with 93, but it's billed as a "Scenic Byway" of 93 and goes through Ketchum and then the Sawtooth National Forrest. It's a great road if you're heading up to Salmon/Missoula.

I would love to take 12 sometime, looking at Google Maps it looks like it would be great.

Here's another video taken about 30 minutes to an hour before. It starts at a scenic overlook up in the mountains and ends down in the valley.

My brother is ahead of me on a 2004 Triumph Bonneville.

The whole day we spent was a lot of fun. We took 13 hours to go from Salt Lake to Salmon Idaho. I could do it every Monday.

Kinda cool..retro brothers! Strange..my brother rides a Triumph Bonneville and I ride a CB 1100 too lol

12 is a great road, my wife and I rode it last fall I think it was..or the fall before.

Thanks! My dad was with us and he rides a Harley Road King, which I would call a retro style bike too.

The GoPro is such a cool camera for a trip. Mount it on a chesty and turn it on when you get to the cool parts of a road :biker:
