This is a fast, good route.

Good route and scores some scenic points too; 26 through Swan Valley and the Alpine-Jackson routes especially are beautiful!

That looks good and gets a vote for scenic. Thank you!

^ This is how we came back from Jackson a few years ago and was no problem towing. Beautiful drive.

We did Brigham City to Alpine. We took I-15 to US30 to ID34 to US89. We then took US89 to get to Cody, which took us right through Jackson. It was good route. We have a 45-ft diesel pusher towing a Jeep. Jackson is busy so if you are camping on the north side of Jackson, look for the truck route which is a left on Millward. That helps you avoid the nutty, crowded traffic in the middle of Jackson.

I know we started our trek north of SLC but the route we took was good (for leaving Brigham City).
