This blog is from my drive through diverse Southern Idaho as part of my transit from SLC-Seattle.
My next temporary home after SLC is Seattle, and I planned this AMAZING transit long road trip taking 22 days/30+ hours to drive through many beautiful areas. I stretched it out to both make it easier on Bafi & have enough time to explore and not rush.
When we left SLC, our first stop was Evanston, WY. Now I don’t have any 📷from here as this stop was purely to avoid Pioneer Day (UT LDS/Mormon State holiday) 🧨 as both Bafi and Laki hate it. So I worked from a motel for a few days, and we visited a few local parks – the drive there was so pretty, lotsa uniq rock formations similar to Southern Utah scenery.
Then we drove to northwest to Twin Falls, ID, which is a pretty town with a gorgeous Snake River Canyon (no entry fee). It’s one of those places that doesn’t look like anything else you have seen before. We walked around one of the few grassy area in the Canyon Park as the area is very dry, and stopped by this waterfall where you get a nice view of the canyon too. There isn’t any parking by the waterfall, so u just have to park on the side of the road and snatch up a few pic after a short hike. It’s pretty cool.
The next day we checked out the Shoshone Falls ($5 entry fee) and Dierkes Lake, where we didn’t get out of the car as dogos weren’t allowed there (so no pic of that lake). 😥
Then we drove through unique Craters of the Moon National Monument ($20 entry fee, you can also use NP pass), which is volcanic field of lava flows. Dogos aren’t allowed on any of the trails, and even in a parking lot the ground was so hot from the heated dried out lava, that we quickly drove thru, took some pics & headed to Arco for the night. this is def a place to check out without ur furry babies.
After a couple of days here we proceeded to our route heading northeast towards Idaho Falls which has magical river walk on both sides of the river for 5+ miles. I’m telling u, it was addictive! We kept going back for walks as much as we could.
Next we headed to Y-Oming – blog from there will be right here (to be added when it’s created):

Twin Falls’ Snake Canyon and Shoshone Falls allow dogos; Dierkes Lake and Craters of the Moon don’t allow dogos anywhere but parking lots. 🐶🐕🐶🐕

Tak sme vyrazili dale z krasneho Salt Lake City na dalsi dobrodruzstvi.
Takze jsem naplanovala cestu do Seattle pres 4 staty - 22 dni/30+ hodin jizdy. Byla i kratsi moznost, ale rikam si kdyz uz jsme tady autem musime to projet, aj kvuli Bafince jsem to rozlozila na vice dni aby sme ridili co nejmene hodin kady den.
Prvni usek cesty byl skrz Idaho - je to hezky rozmanity stat, kazdy akorat rika jak sou odsud brambory, kdyz tu sou hory, kanony, vodoady, sopky, atd.
Podle poradi fotek sme videli:
Mesto Twin Falls & Snake River Canyon(Hadi Reka Kanon) - krasna priroda, velmi zvlastni.
Shoshone Falls (Vodopady) - ) rikaji tomu Niagara zapadu, ja jsem Niagaru jeste nevidela, tak nemuzu rict. Clovek se muze podivat jen z dalky, nemuze primo k tomu Falls.
Craters of the Moon National Monument (Kratery Mesice) - zajimave. Tim ze jsem byla na Hawaii (hlavni ostrov) sem se to snazila srovnat, ale proze jsem nemohla nikam s puntikama tak myslim ze nemuzu rict ze jsem dobre tento park videla.
Mesto Idaho Falls - relax. Nekonecne romantcike prochazky pri pobrezi reky. Kouzelne misto, fakt.
Tak vyrazime dale, pres Wyoming. Dalsi blog bude zde az to dam dohromady (me velke monitory sou v krabici v aute, tak se vse hure a pomaleji dela na laptopu prenosnem monitorku). 😊
