We made a relatively local excursion and drove the Lolo Motorway over a couple different trips. The Lolo Motorway roughly follows both the Nez Perce Trail and the route of Lewis and Clark over the Bitterroot Mountains. The motorway was built in the 1930's by the CCC's and may not be the image that your mind conjures when you hear the term motorway. It's a fairly rough remote road following the ridges above the Clearwater River for about 93 miles. If you are in to history or backcountry routes the motorway may be of interest.
