Starting at Lake McDonald Lodge
These specially made touring cars are often called jammers, after the need for the original drivers to manage manual clutches during the steep climb and descent of the road.
The Lake McDonald Lodge offers boat cruises leaving the dock several times a day for visitors who want to see the sights in comfort. The lodge also offers a variety of private rooms, duplex style cabins, ranger presentations, kayak rentals, fishing tours, red bus tours, and a full-service restaurant from mid-May through mid-September.
There is no cell service, and limited wi-fi is available only in the lodge lobby. It is a good place to unplug.
