[Vision2020] driving routes to boise/las vegas

[Sunil Ramalingam]

The road looks clearer than 55 was, but that may be a function of having a plow somewhere in front of you.  Doesn't seem to make a whole lot of difference, though 95 is probably easier because it's not right next to the river.

I was headed for Sun Valley, and had to go through Boise.  On Sunday when I came back 21 was still closed around 10 am.

I was between New Meadows and Council about 2:30 p.m. and 
it was ugly.

Kai,

What time were you on the New Meadows-Council 
  stretch last Thursday?  I left McCall about 1 pm, and it was bad down to 
  Horseshoe Bend, though I could get up to 45 or so; any faster and I was afraid 
  I'd lose it.

  US 95 to I-84. Go east on I-84 to US 93 and south 
  through Twin Falls to Vegas. 
  New Meadows to Council can be sketchy, it was bad 
  (25 mph) last Thursday.
  Alternate route:
  US 95 to US 12 and east to Walla Walla, then 
  south on 125 to Pendleton and I-84.
  Passes near Baker City can get slick, and there 
  is quite a bit of construction going on between Baker City and Ontario Oregon. 
  As there is thorugh Boise.

    Hi All:
     
    I am interested in hearing (off list is fine) from those 
    of you who drive to Boise especially at this time of year when there is 
    variable weather as to which route(s) you prefer and why.  Also how 
    about from Boise to Las Vegas?
     
    My daughter thinks a spring break trip to Las Vegas (a 
    free hotel room awaits!) with friends sounds like a great way to get away 
    from snow and cold.
     
    Advice?
