Also, there are some nice alternate roads that get you off of U.S. 93 for a couple of spells between Whitefish and Eureka. They are on ACA's Northern Tier route. I have ridden them and can vouch for them. If you need snacks, etc., take the short hop from U.S. 93 into the center of Olney, MT. There is a cool, old store with a collection of old pop bottles.
See the route map in my post a few above yours.
