• The route begins at the Fairgrounds in Bonners Ferry, then winds through scenic Paradise Valley. We'll pass the remnants of what used to be one of the largest lumber mills in the world, and some of the old, historic buildings of Paradise Valley

• Leaving Paradise Valley, travel to the southern reaches of Boundary County, near MacArthur Reservoir, then to Naples for a break and refreshments at the Naples General Store

• Next following Old Highway 95 going north to the Mirror Lake Golf Course, passing through Bonners Ferry once again

• Next the route heads to the eastern border of Boundary County, then bends around Herman Lake onto another quiet, scenic stretch of Old Highway 95

• We then explore northern Boundary County, going north on Meadow Creek / Moyie River Road, passing beautiful Dawson Lake, the Meadow Creek Ghost Town site, historic Snyder Guard Station, Sinclair Lake, and stopping for a break and refreshments at Good Grief Grill and Grocery, just a couple of miles south of the US / Canada International Border

• Finish up with the final leg of the Tour, taking modern-day US Highway 95 south back into Bonners Ferry and the Fairgrounds, where a delicious hamburger and hot dog barbecue awaits
