This summer we will be heading West from Roosevelt NP in N. Dakota to Northern Idaho. To help determine our route I am looking for comments, suggestions, places to see, CGs, etc, on the following choices:
1) US RT 2 to Kalispell
2) RT 200 through Great Falls to Missoula
3) Rt 12 from Forsyth, to Helena, to Missoula
4) I94 through to Idaho
We are not planning at stopping at Yellowstone or Glacier as we were there last summer. Any suggestions on hikes, bike trails or places to kayak would also be helpful.
Thanks you all in advance

In 1975 I rode a GoldWing up there from Az. and then rode about 50 miles south of Helena jumped on the gravel going west and rode a hundred miles or so and then down to Salmon Id. Remenber, you never get a pickup truck to small.
