Im planning to drive up to Idaho Falls for thanksgiving. Any tips or advise on the weather? or the long ride?

Im planning to leave on Nov. 21 around 9pm so I don’t have to deal with all the rush hour traffic. Im taking along my 4 and 2 yr. old. I fugure if I leave at night they would sleep most of the way….But im a lil worried about the weather anyone have any advise or tips on what to do and what not to do? How’s the weather this time of year?

The weather is not bad here in Boise right now but there is supposed to be some change come this weekend. You didn’t say which way you will be coming from. Idaho Falls is always windy and cold. Make sure you bring lots of warm stuff for those kids. There are Interstates going into I.F. from both ways so I would stick to them. Around I.F. the roads can get pretty slick with Black Ice so just drive the speed limit drink some coffee and you should be fine. If you do get tired there are plenty of little towns and some big ones to stop into and catch a little nap. If you need you can always call the Idaho Road Report and they can tell you the road conditions. Have a great Turkey Day Jeff Brennan

I’m planning to drive to Idaho Falls ID. from California for Thanksgiving. What steps should I take?

Im planning to surprise my mom for Thanksgiving, but flying out to Idaho from California for 4 people on short notice, is way out of my budget. So I want to drive out their is their anything I should be worried about? What should I do to make sure it’s a pleasant ans safe drive, since I am driving out their with my kids.

There’s probably going to be snow by then, so if you have a 4WD vehicle I suggest driving it. Bring snow chains, have some blankets, extra food, and water, a first aid kit, cell phone,.

Bring some cassette tapes or CD’s cause there’s some areas that you won’t get any radio reception.

Its a nice drive, but at that time of the year the roads can be bad. So take it easy and drive responsibly (i.e. if you get tired stop and rest).
