Ian McGaughey provided these comments about Idaho State Highway 29 during the making the 2002 road trip documentary “Looking At America.” This still image is taken from the video.
“In western Montana, I got a bit off track despite an abundance of maps. There’s a silly bit in the video where I flip a coin to determine the way to go, and it led me across the border onto Idaho State Highway 29, a length of road over the continental divide in the Bitterroot Range. I had traveled thousands of miles of road by this point in the trip, but I remember sincerely feeling that this stretch of road was the most beautiful I had seen on the trip.”
