Beautiful drive, enjoy it.
You will have Lewiston Hill & Whitebird, both of which are long steep descents but good highways.
Between New Meadows & McCall, the highway is somewhat narrow & you'll have a small summit to pass over, but still not that bad. At New Meadows you can continue on 95 south to Boise, but it's longer & not near as scenic & you'd miss McCall, a beautiful little community.
Just South of Cascade & before you get to Cougar Mountain Lodge, which is 18 miles, you'll have a another narrow curvy stretch of highway, but only for a few miles, just take your time & you'll be fine.
Stop & say hello to Jerry, the owner of the Cougar Mountain. Him & his children run the place & have so since 1994, if I remember correctly. He's 80, but you wouldn't know it.
You'll have another somewhat narrow & curvy stretch of road about 5 miles or so long just before entering Banks.
After going through Horseshoe Bend you'll have a summit to go over that's about 8-miles long but 4-lanes wide, very nice highway.
You're just 15-20 minutes from Boise after reaching the summit.
