Panhandle Gravel Series: Aether’s Traverse

Hosted by Syringa Cyclery, Aether’s Traverse is a stunning 35-mile route from Sandpoint passing over the southern reaches of the Selkirk Range into the Priest River drainage basin and winds back around, climbing 6,300 feet up to the Selkirk Crest from the west, topping out at Schweitzer’s Sky House. Excepting two short sections of asphalt, the route is entirely on gravel roads.
