INTRO

"The climb of Trail Pass North/Chief Joseph Pass West is a steady grade ascent to altitude to the boarder of Idaho in southwestern Montana. There is a bit of traffic on this hill at times but usually not enough to ruin a ride. The road swings through a few curves along the way and with rock walls in places. Trees close in toward the top and at mile 7.2 you reach Trail Pass and the Idaho border. Turn left (east) here on Route 43 to finish. This final section is again steady grade and scenic up to signed Chief Joseph Pass. Trail Pass/Chief Joseph Pass is a pleasant and somewhat fast in places descent as well." (This quote is presented with the approval of John Summerson, from his book, The Complete Guide to Climbing (by Bike), 2nd Edition, pg. 190.)
