Boise Travel Forum

Hi,
We're planning to travel to Boise from Seattle around Thanksgiving. Airfare seems kind of pricey for a 8 hour drive, but I am concerned about snow. I have no idea what mountain passes and elevation will be. We plan to leave around 11/22 and return 11/29. MApquest has us travelling from Yakima on I-82 and then merging onto I-84 in Pendleton Oregon until we hit I-184 in Boise. Is this the best route? What kind of terrain will there be? Should we concerned with snow. I drive a front wheel drive Saturn. Thanks in advance!

If you fly on Southwest Airline it would cost you $100 per person roundtrip. Since you will be leaving tomorrow it would be too late to get it for that price. Going on I-82 then to I-84 is the fastest route that I know. By the time you leave from Seattle there shouldn't be any road problem in Idaho and Oregon should be ok too.
