McCall, ID to Idaho Falls Avoiding Boise
Would love to avoid Boise in getting over to IF. Looking at 24 from Banks to Lowman. Good choice? Then Lowman, Stanley, Ketchun to 20/26 to IF. How does that look? Any input appreciated. Thank y...

Idaho DOT reports some construction along this route
- 55 before the Banks turn off has major construction work; they recommend US95 for larger vehicles. (traffic on 55 can be heavy around holidays and weekends because it's the main route between the big city and the mountain resorts.)
- 21 east of Lowman is getting chipseal work, which is messy to drive past.
- I84 has some shoulder and median work, but nothing that would slow traffic.
US95 to I84 might well be the smoothest driving, even if it's a bit longer.
The drive through the mountains via Lowman is nice, but best if you take time to camp and test the hot springs.
