Missoula to Sun Valley

You will be fine, just take your time and enjoy the scenery and the beautiful Bitterroot and Salmon Rivers. May want to stop in Salmon, ID and check on the Lewis & Clark area history of over 200 years ago.

No problem - the roads are fine and the scenery is great. Galena Summit between Stanley and Sun Valley on ID 75 will be a good pull, but the road is good. Stop in Challis at the "Land of the Yankee Fork" State Park for mining history and plan on some stops to see the Sawtooth Range between Stanley and Sun Valley.

It's a gorgeous drive and a lot of it along the river with many opportunities to spend the night either boondocking or in forest campgrounds. The Stanley/Sawtooth Nat'l Recreation Area is a must for a few nights. If you're a fly fisherman this are is the place to be! It's one of our favorite areas.

We spent two weeks in the area between Stanley and Ketchum and barely scratched the surface. Some of the most beautiful country we have ever seen, and that is saying a lot. If you boondock, there is plenty available, and the same for great campgrounds. Not much in the way of full hookups.

And yes, the roads are excellent -- not too steep, not too curvy.

One more thing -- there will be a total eclipse in the Stanley area on August 21. Lots of folks!!

Thank You all for your generous and informative responses. I'm excited. Tom
