Boise to Lewiston Idaho

I haven’t enjoyed a drive lately as much as I enjoyed the drive from Boise, Idaho to Lewiston, ID.

Valley of Fire State Park, NV

Upon arriving at Valley of Fire thinking I had never been here, I immediately thought, “this looks familiar”! Sure enough, when I was camped near Boulder and the Hoover Dam about 18 months ago, I took a day trip here because I didn’t know if and when I would have a chance to see it. …
