And the loop has the Galena Trail. Short but very cool trail.
The loop can be done in 9 days depending on your route. I did not notice camping as I was not looking for it but I am sure it can be had. There are a couple of warmshower and BF members along the way.
There is a lot of camping on the loop. It is a good ride, but not as spectacular as the Canadian Rockies. It does go into Canada, so bring your passport.
My wife and I rode it with our daughters. The weather was "epic" at times
