For 60 years after construction was completed in 1915, White Bird Grade (Across the Valley) served Idaho's only north-south highway.
Many tortuous curves and switchbacks -which, if placed together, made 37 complete circles - let the old road climb 2900 feet in 14 miles. Gaining an elevation of 4429 at its summit, that route represented a significant engineering and construction achievement. This new grade did not replace it until 1975.
