When you say 50-60's is that at Logans Pass or at the lower elevations?
How much gravel and how loose? Only will have road bikes with 23mm tires.
50-60s at lower elevations in the park. Outside the park it might be a little warmer.
"A bit of gravel" was probably an understatement. It would be slow going on 23's. I've only been on it in a truck, but if I remember right from the map you can take paved Camas Rd from West Glacier to North Fork Rd (or start on paved North Fork Rd from Columbia Falls). At the intersection of Camas and North Fork, it becomes fairly loose gravel, but I think there are semi-paved sections. It's 13 miles to Polebridge. You can keep going to Kintla Lake, but I realize now that we didn't take that route, so I don't know how the road is. Supposed to be nice scenery though.
