US93 climbs to Lost Trail pass on the state border. You can look up the numbers. Either Montana or Idaho DOT gives grades. It's high enough to have a ski resort, and snow flurries in June. But it is a major NS highway.
The drive from Salmon to Challis to Stanley follows a fork of the Salmon River. So it has curves but minimal grades. Camping along the river is mostly BLM.
US93 south from Challis follows a broad valley (with a low pass).
ID75 south from Stanley has a somewhat higher pass. But Stanley itself is one of the higher towns in Idaho.
I explored the Custer route one cold spring, but did not take it all the way. I wouldn't recommend it unless you already have experience on gravel roads with your rig.
