Hamilton, Montana
Nice people, fun town. Great place to stop and have fun for the night! Don't count on gas until you get to Elk, ID. Ride goes from pavement to forest road again.
Orofino, Idaho
There is a mom and pop motel at the far end of town that is one of the friendliest I've stayed at. After the Hamilton to Elk run, it as worth it to pass up the motel in Elk to relax at this place and eat steaks on their patio!
