Description
The U.S. 93 south pedestrian/bike path is a paved path separated from U.S. 93. It is located along the west side of the highway. It begins just south of the U.S. 93/U.S. 12 intersection in Lolo and ends just south of the S. Kootenai Creek Rd./U.S. 93 intersection. It goes through the small town of Florence. A rail corridor runs along the east side of U.S. 93. The path's distance from the highway varies, and grades are gentle. To the west one can view the Bitterroot Mountains, and to the east are the Sapphire Mountains. There is a pair of tunnels under the highway between Lolo and Florence that allows one to ride for a few miles along the east side of the highway. Several park and ride lots can be used for leaving a vehicle. When complete, the path will extend all the way from Lolo south to Hamilton.

I rode this trail last weekend. It is a very nice setting, except it varies from 4ft to maybe 20ft away from US93. The bridges are grooved for winter driving, and every time a vehicle goes over them, the tires "zing".
But the scenery is great, lots ...
