Getting around
Vehicle/Bicycle
Having your own vehicle to get from point A to point B is recommended, but bring your bicycles or go on foot to explore everything in between.
What to pack
Layers are best
The weather is typical to Idaho in that it can change from morning to evening and hour to hour. It is best to wear layers that you can shed as it warms up or put on as it cools down.
