Interesting route,,thank you. We are also looking for some boondocking spots on our way. Las Vegas is starting to hit high 80's - and even a 90 degree day soon.
We are at TT and have a/c but .....

Any other info out there?

Our 5er is still in our spot in Mesquite. We pulled the flatbed hauling the CanAm home last week. I-15, Virgin River Gorge. Light traffic until the Provo area on a Saturday.

We go through Provo Canyon to Heber, Park City then I-80 home but I-15 north through Salt Lake shouldn’t be too bad. There’s a Walmart in Springville, south of Provo, for a possible overnight. Leave around 9 am next day to avoid the rush north.

We’re headed to Mesquite this weekend to retrieve the camper. 4 nights and high temperatures in the 90’s. Glad we have 2 AC units!

Good luck and safe travels!

Edit: Only way I’d do any UT paperwork would be a final destination in UT, not “passing through”.

The reason was to avoid Utah all together. When we go north for the summer from Yuma, AZ. we use US 93. But cutoff at Alamo to 318 and come out about 15 miles out of Ely. That cuts off about 40 miles and several pulls that are on 93. Also, there is a one lane bridge on I-15 just across the Arizona line into Utah and some lane work near SLC.

Still forming route, but why not take 15 out of Las Vegas instead of 93?

Thank you. Driving 40' Monaco Dynasty and towing a Tundra...
Would like avoiding any extra mountains. :)

Take route wguss recommended. From that direction you'll go through Star Valley, hit Alpine Junction and up through the Snake River canyon. That's 89 to 26. This route avoids Teton Pass which is not recommended for big RVs. Don't know what you are driving or towing, but go around instead through Alpine Junction.

I've been chomping at the bit to get up there this spring. Been watching for an update but nothing so far on the park reopening. It looks like Gros Ventre will now open first on May 21 and I noticed Signal Mountain on June 4.

We always take the 15 connecting to the 89 at Brigham City. Nice scenery through Logan Pass and Bear Lake. I've checked with the usual place we stay in Utah at Beaver and it's open now. Hope this all smooths out soon.

Which campground will you be working in?

Saw your new post after I entered mine. Once you hit St. George, UT it begins to cool off as you climb. Depending when we get out of L.A. we usually stay at Cedar City or Beaver, Ut the first night. The next day we head to Garden City and stay at Rendezvous Beach State Park on Bear Lake. If you don't want to go that far there is a state park campground at North Willard Bay. It's about 4 and 1/2 hours from there to Jackson on the 89. A few hills to climb but not bad. You will drive through Star Valley which should be in full spring by then.

Take US 93 out of North Las Vegas to Twin Falls, ID, then I-84 and I-86 to I-15 at Pocatello,ID. to Idaho Falls, then thru to Victor, to Alpine Jct. to Jackson Hole, WY. Miss Utah altogether! But the Utes have backed off on what they were originally trying to do.

Hopefully, the U.S. will safely open up and you can report for work.
