Once the route of Lewis and Clark, each turn of the road offers a brilliant view of the extraordinary mountainous terrain and rivers that parallel the highway. Numerous stopping places along the way allow you to park, picnic, and marvel at the majesty of the Rockies.

Take your time as you pass through the famous Lolo Pass at the border of the two states and drive through the breathtaking Nez Perce- Clearwater National Forest in Idaho. 

Colorado’s Gold Belt Scenic Highway

A designated Colorado Scenic and Historic Highway, the Gold Belt Scenic Highway offers incredible views along with notable historic venues and towns that are sure to make the trip worthwhile.

Enjoy the mountain parklands and rocky canyons supported by numerous restaurants and shops along the way.

The highway is accessible from the north on U.S. Highway 24 and the south by U.S. Route 50.

Georgia Route 197
