Southern Ca to Coeur d’Alene Idaho

Hello - we are planning a 3 week road trip late June from so cal to Coeur d’Alene Idaho. We want to stop at the Tetons National Park and Yellowstone. Looking for best route and campgrounds. We are towing a bumper pull 30’ toy hauler. We don’t want to come back the same way so looking for different routes and places to see.

    Easiest but less scenic is I-15 to US 26 near Idaho Falls, ID then US 189 into Jackson, WY

    Sawtooth area and Salmon River, ID 75, 21, 55 to US95 are phenomenal areas. Way off the beaten path! Some of the best scenery, hiking, fishing, hot springs, etc. in the region.

    Craters of the Moon should not be missed! "Unique" barely starts the description!

    Any route will be good once you get past Vegas......and out of the desert.

    We hit up St.Anthony sand dunes then back tracked to the 26 to Jackson.

    You taking toys?
