9-5, 9-6-75. The climb to Logan Pass was pretty easy from the east. It would be a lot of work from the west. You really need check your brakes prior to descending. The road goes down the "Garden Wall" which is a cliff with water seeping out of it on to the road. The ride going into the interior corners consists of braking to dry your brakes, braking to slow down, getting your bike upright at the apex of the corner since there are steel drainage grates for the water on the road, and getting back into the lean to make the corner before you slam into the "Garden Wall". Other than that ten plus miles of down hill fun. Canadians would comment, "Going over the Logan, eh? Good luck."
