The Transamerica Route through Oregon to Prairie City looks like a find route. From there, instead of staying on route, I could deviate south a bit east of Prairie city, head east north of Boise, catch the Ponderosa Pine Scenic Byway to Stanley, head south and then east to Idaho Falls, and then over to Jackson, where the ride would end.

I have posted this route on bikely.com. Here is a second routing option that goes into Boise and picks up the Ponderosa Scenic Byway, there.

I would be riding this route in the summer of 2009, probably after July 1, but have not decided on dates, yet.

I'd be very interested in any and all comments about either of these routes or suggestions on better ones.
