- Two_HandsExplorerI-15 north to Idaho Falls. US-26 east/southeast/north to Jackson and Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. This completely avoids any mountain passes, but is still a beautiful drive.
- cbighamExplorer IIIOk, Thanks. Saw a lot of construction on Google for that and had considered the 30.
- IvylogExplorer IIII would not go the extra 45 miles to ID falls and then 26 to avoid one 6800' pass on 30/34 to 89 and 26. If you go 26, do not even think about using 20 into Jackson at Swan Valley, take 26 all of the way around.
- cbighamExplorer IIIOk thanks. I believe I did that pass 10 yrs ago towing a 5er toy hauler. Seemed tight..but moving.

I would agree. Seems a longer route than the 30/34 noted, but I'm not familiar with 30/34, so couldn't recommend it. I-15 to Idaho Falls, then US 26 to Alpine Junction, then 26/89 to Hoback and Jackson, is really uneventful as far as passes and it's still scenic. We take that route all the time from our house near Boise. At Palisades is a park with hookups at the base of the dam should you decide to stop. It's a good overnight stop, and easy in and easy out. At Alpine is a Chevron roomy enough for you to pull through and fill up. They put in a round about at Hoback so you'll have to maneuver around that. Most definitely do not take Teton Pass Hwy 22 between Victor and Jackson. Not worth it. - 2gypsies1Explorer IIIWe also recommend Hwy 26 - almost flat but a beautiful drive.
- zman-azExplorerDid this route last year and went thru Logan, Utah. Avoid Logan at all costs, grades were fine, Logan is just a pita to drive thru. Also did hwy 26 and it was fine.
- vjstangeloExplorerI just did US26 out of Idaho Falls. That is the one I'd recommend. A very scenic route right along the Snake River and a breeze drive wise.
- cbighamExplorer IIIPulled 30,34 and 89 in. Easy peasy.
- ReneeGExplorerGood to know! Thanks for the feedback especially on 30/34.
