best route from Ogden/salt lake to Grand Teton/Jackson?
We are leaving the Ogden area and headed North soon, looking for advice on the easiest way to get our 40 ft diesel and towed jeep to Jackson, minimal hassle, tight roads, thanks, Cb

I-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.
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.
