Some days you want to ride something a little more challenging than just another back road winding through farmland. For those of us living in the Spokane and Coeur d'Alene area we have a great variety of roads from which to choose. One option not frequently mentioned combines the challenge of a rough gravel road with the scenic splendor and twisty challenge of a quiet mountain road.
Benewah Creek Road heads east to St Maries from I-95 just South of Idaho State Route 60. The road has very little traffic, maybe due to the abundance of potholes and washboard conditions. This is a road you will probably want to ride primary standing on your pegs. It isn't a ride for bikes that don't do well in gravel, but for dual sports, it is a fun ride through pretty countryside, and for the most part paralleling Benewah Creek. The road turns into asphalt just before reaching St Maries.
From St Maries turn North on Idaho 3 for a short distance before turning onto St Joe River Road, a designated Idaho scenic by-way. Although the Eastern part of the road is in great condition, there is very little traffic during the shoulder seasons of April/May and September/October. That may change during summer, since there are several campgrounds along the route between the road and the river. The highlight of St Joe River Road, other than the scenery, is the twisties that just keep coming at you. "The key to budget travel is to plan in front. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the actuality of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our minds. Planning and spending our travel budget correctly is a consideration for most families. Lowering consuming and costs, while still delighting your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed achievements and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding saving money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal funds is incredibly small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel expenses!..". Some are tight, some are open sweepers, and all are fun, although it is challenging to focus on the road when the surrounding scenery is so majestic. Near the eastern end of the road, conditions deteriorate with areas of rockslides causing road damage and in some areas temporarily blocking lanes.
Although most of St Joe River Road is considered an all weather road, its Eastern end where the road turns toward St Regis, MT can have snow until mid-summer.
