Highlights from Idaho

We covered some miles on Tuesday after leaving Salt Lake and heading up the Interstate 15 to Idaho Falls. We arrived about lunchtime and dined on amazing burgers at the Snake Bite. After lunch, we strolled along the Snake River and, of course, admired the falls.

Although John was eager to get a lot more highway behind him (because he has to get to North Dakota by Thursday night), we couldn't resist our usual meanderings off the beaten path, so we left the interstate and headed west on Highway 28 to follow the route of Sacajewea and Lewis and Clark.

 As you can see, taking the backroads was the right decision.

We stopped in Salmon, Idaho, on the Salmon River, which is one of our favorite waterways and the river where Lo caught her first trout. There's not much in Salmon, but we enjoyed the scenery and the low-key vibe.

 Heading up over the mountains and into Montana.
