This is a great ride! As you leave Cambridge and head towards Brownlee Reservoir you start dropping down int o Snake River Canyon. At Oxbow Damn you can take the Devils Tail ride to Hells Canyon Damn but you need to turn around and back to Oxbow but one hell of a twisty ride! Get gas in Halfway then head up Road Rash Pass or NF39 to Joseph and you got to see Wallowa Lake. As you sweep around to LaGrande go through LaGrande and connect to highway 30 and go to Hot Lake Springs which is a historic old Hotel, now Bed and Breakfast thats been around since 1812, well the hot water which flows a million gallons a day. Very cool place. Stay on highway 30 into Baker City, leave Baker City and use Hwy 30 there are a couple of small areas where you ride the Interstate but only a few miles, just can't get around it. At Farewell Bend stop at the State Park, very nice, then about mile ride on Interstate and back to old highway 30 to Boise.
Enjoy...
