Idaho/Oregon Car/Bike Trip with Photos
Click here for my photo diary of our camping trip in Oregon and Idaho.
My two recommendations for "must-do" rides:
1. Trail of the Coeur d'Alene. This is 71 miles of smooth flat pavement with no cars and great views.
2. Rim drive around Crater Lake. This is a 34 mile ride with lots of hills, but nothing too steep.

I like the rakish tilt to the helmet Al.

WOW!! What a great trip!! Thanks for sharing.
In regards to the stairs with the troughs alongside for wheeling your bikes up and down, we have a set of steps very similar to that in Fairport. A gent that I used to work with thought they were intended for riding down and almost broke his arm trying.
He was all set to complain to the town until I explained their intended use.

As the others have said, your pictures are beautiful and it looks like an amazing trip, although a bit more rugged than I could handle. However, I find the most impressive part of your story is your spontaneous piano playing at the senior center! I'm sure you made the day for a number of your audience! Nice work!
