Caught up with a guy doing some touring from Spokane on his fully-loaded KLR. He said taking the road up the hill from Troy isn't something to be missed, and he's right:

I love Asotin--passed through on a road trip in about '98, and when I retired I considered moving there. It's beautiful around there.
