If you are going through Missoula, you should take highway 12 towards
Lewiston, then swing back north towards Spokane.

Highway 12 takes you over Lolo Pass through the Bitterroot mountains.  Hwy
12 is the route that Lewis and clark took :-)  It follows the Lochsa river
to the Clearwater.  Along hwy 12 there are lots of campgrounds and some
hot springs.  If you are kayaker or boater you will itching to do the
Lochsa!

Good luck and email me if you need some info about hwy 12.  I will be out
of town for most of july... otherwise i'd tell you to stop on by!
