That's awesome, gives you time to enjoy the twisty's. Just don't you both go and get speeding tickets. lol

From there you can continue on to Glacier National Park as someone else suggested.

that sounds like fun. last time i visited yellow stone was like in the 80's...

oh the rotten egg smell aka bad catalyst smell ..

I'll have to go this way one of these times, I normally just take I15, 18hrs Vegas to Calgary non stop. MT has some nice curvy roads and a 80-85 mile/hr speed limit, makes for fun roads.

How many days are you taking to get down?

Looking for twisties as much as possible and have been told that this route is probably one of the better ones for that.

Any input? Hope the Z doesn't let me down

Wife and I took our Z from St. Louis, MO to Quebec City.

My advice for long distance in the Z.
Bring a butt pad. After a while the Z's seats will kill your ***.
Soft cooler bag fits perfectly on the shelf behind the seats.
Bring a can of good glass cleaner, microfiber, and paper towels for bug cleaning.

We were getting 27+ MPG, so your range should be killer.

Have fun Mitch!

kenchan · 06-02-2015, 11:08 AM

right, we dont need another 'they mispelled our names on our tickets' thread.

Waving at you as you pass through Calgary...

Mitco39 · 06-03-2015, 10:22 AM

Made it to Bonners Ferry last night, getting ready to continue heading south right away here to hit that road that was suggested at the start this afternoon, looking forward to it. Hopefully the rain holds off from here on out. If anything the rain keeps us at the speed limit haha.

Interested in hearing your opinion on the Old Spiral Highway. I remember it being way cool.

That highway was sooo cool, one of the best roads we've ever been on. Did it twice once going down then back up. Threw a go-pro on the bimmer and she followed me. When we get back ill post it online, its very cool.

We are now in Twin Falls ID and going to make the push to Vegas tomorrow. The roads in this state are awesome, so much better than the ones we have in Canada.

Glad to here it. I hope to drive it next year. Looking forward to the video. Does the video show your Z?
