At west end of the Hiawatha, one can take gravel roads to places like Avery, ID.  Or one can ride back to the Montana trail head.  Or, for $9 during the busy summer season, old school buses bring one back to Montana trail head.

Retrofitted with bike storage, the buses are popular.

Friendly rangers at trail heads as well.

I took the bus which ground its way back up a winding mountain road.

That was a fun day, but being a cyclist, I have many days like this.
