We will be attending a convention in Salt lake City in June and are thinking of renting a car and driving to Jackson Hole for a few days. According to Mapquest I15 looks like a 4 hour trip.
I would like feedback both pros and cons on taking this route, and what we can expect road condition wise.
Any thoughts ??
I made the drive in 2010, SLC to Idaho Falls on I-15, then US-26 to Idaho Hwy 31 to Victor. In Victor, Idaho 33 to Wyoming 22 right into Jackson. The speed limit on I-15 was 80 if I recall correctly... smooth sailing at xxx mph once out of the SLC traffic. I was driving a sports car, not towing, your time estimate sounds right.
There was significant snow in the mountains mid-June, and I wouldn't be surprised of the roads iced-up at night (in the mountains)
I did not return to SLC, instead I went South on US-191 to I-80 and headed East.
