Have you ever run the highway from Enterprise, OR to Lewiston, ID? It's a hoot! Then there is the Lewiston Grade/Old Spiral Highway just north of Lewiston which is a great road, but more travelled and used by cyclists.

Thanks! Some of my favorites for sure - check out these photos: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1493231

Sweet!

Epic scenery and photos. What camera / lenses were you using?

Yvette · 08-17-2019, 02:46 AM

Nice, I just did 3500 miles road trip 2 weeks ago, it was a quite good feeling.

CarJunkie · 08-17-2019, 07:32 AM

You inspired me to grab a few pics on my 10 hour round trip to pick up my kid from camp....along the Historic Columbia Gorge Highway, designed and build by Sam Hill to be an unobtrusive part of the landscape....usually makes for a great road!

Damn you are awesome! The car is awesome! The pictures are awesome! Thanks for the post!

uniqueMR · 08-17-2019, 09:14 AM

Just flawless. Thanks for sharing

bruza · 08-17-2019, 09:25 AM

GREAT pics, this is what it’s all about here.

I lived in WA & UT for several years, similar scenery to your pics. Takes me back

Now this is what life's little treats can do for us! Actually go out and see our world. Pause, soak it in, drink a beer, listen... thanks for sharing. We all need this from time to time.

damn i need to travel more.

Wow, I didn't know that there were roads this enchanting within North America..

This is what my 'scenic route' looks like:

skier219 · 08-17-2019, 05:38 PM

Amazing! I have a buddy who lives in Idaho and keep saying I will get out there some year. It's such a beautiful state.

F80_Katz · 08-18-2019, 01:17 AM

Beautiful photography. Beautiful car. Beautiful roads! Glad you had a nice trip, looked like a blast😁

SCS55 · 08-18-2019, 08:56 AM

Refreshing to view a post about someone enjoying a nice drive in their BMW vs reading about mechanical issues and other stuff.
Well done!

junx · 08-18-2019, 11:23 AM

Amazing photos. I've always wanted to do something similar. Just curious if you keep a spare/emergency tire in your trunk?

Thank you! Most of these were with my Canon 5D Mark IV, and 24-70 F/2.8 IS lens.

Very nice! Several friends of mine and I were over there with car and bikes just a few weeks ago. I love that area! https://bwhip62.wordpress.com/2019/0...r-summer-2019/

Yikes! I love NYC, but maybe not so much for driving and scenery.

That's probably a good idea, but I haven't yet set it up that way. Currently filled mostly with cleaning products.

Fantastic trip and awesome photos!

Yeah I don't know how I could buy nice rims living here. Hell, I get scared walking the streets in NYC.
