Me too. Ever since kids the only far places I've gone were on a plane so no cross country driving. I want to drive over to the Rocky's some day soon.

Last time I passed by there was 1997 :ugh:

I didn't have a celphone... just quarters. :rofl2:

I just got back from Vegas in a road trip with my Z. I came from the opposite direction tho. Where are you staying at? You should check out a show at Ballazio called "O". Pretty crazy.

The family rented out a mansion (something like 6000sq feet on 3 acres) in the middle of the city so everyone will be staying there. Going to tie the knot while we are down there and race some cars :D

From my motorcycle trips....
 

I'd suggest staying on the east side of Glacier National Park by way of Waterton Lakes as you leave AB and down to Missoula. From there you head west out of Missoula and go the Lolo Pass (?) across into Idaho and down through the Sawtooth Nat'l Forest through Salmon, Ketchum (Sun Valley) to Twin Falls. The road into Idaho from the top of the pass west of Missoula is a fantastic stretch of fast, downhill sweepers. The peak just at the top had a massive forest fire back about 2004 which is an unreal sight.
The route is almost devoid of traffic. I cannot say it's an improvement over your proposed route. I can just speak for how awesome this route is, and most of your northerly route through WA, thru Spokane, is a big yawn.
It gets good again on your route from there down to Boise.

I'm thinking I might be too late with this.

Have a good trip.....and remember. The WA State Patrol has eyes in the sky. Don't ask me how I know.

Sounds like a party! Have fun!

This app has saved me more than once. You can download maps by state and use them with no cell or Internet service.

If you have lots of time and really enjoy driving Z I recommend that you go a bit East to Yellowstone National Park on your way home, the idea being to pick up the Bear Tooth Highway (US 212) into Montana as you leave the Northeast corner of the Park. From there you can continue on to Glacier National Park as someone else suggested.

Downloading now. Thanks so much

As mentioned by Kenchan, just bring a print out of google maps, each day is it's own page other wise you don't get much detail, that what I do at least.
I'll have to go this way one of these times, I normally just take I15, 18hrs Vegas to Calgary non stop. MT has some nice curvy roads and a 80-85 mile/hr speed limit, makes for fun roads.

How many days are you taking to get down?

No problem and safe travels! :tiphat:

We will probably come back up the I15. We are taking 3 days to drive and probably 2 back depending on when we leave Vegas.

Glacier National Park is great, but I've ridden it both directions and it's best starting out from the park entrance on the Whitefish/Kalispell side, (west to east) especially in a car. Either way though, it's pretty impressive. Pic is of Lake McDonald at the West entrance. I have a ton of 'em. 104
