This is my first post. I want to ride from Banff down to Montana and Idaho and then shoot over to Oregon and down into California to end up in Mammoth by Sept 26-27th. I have a lot of back country experience though I have only toured once for a week. I pretty much need advice on Routes, maps, do's and don'ts. Does anyone have any experience in this, suggestions, route to and not to take etc? I was told by one that the Great Divide portion might take to long and to go down from BC through Washington and Oregon. I'm all ears and ready to answer any questions to help you help me better. Ryan
