- The jagged Tetons are one of Idaho's greatest draws, and one of the most majestic sights in all of the USA. Fortunately, motorists can follow the Teton Scenic Byway on Route 33, and take in the mountains from their best side. Start at Jackson, and continue all the way to Sugar City.
- Follow the footsteps of Lewis and Clark as they traversed central Idaho, by tracing Salmon River to the Sawtooth Mountains will be a feast for nature lovers. Start at Challis and head south along Route 75, as it snakes through the Salmon-Challis National Forest, with the snow-capped Sawtooths in sight.
- This sublime route runs south from the mining city of Coeur d'Alene, around the shores of the lake of the same name. Expect some of the most tranquil Alpine views imaginable, as you lose yourself among the pines and the rippling lake waters. And look out for ospreys, which call the lake their home.
The route south from Challis along Route 93 passes Mount Borah, Idaho's tallest peak. But don't be detained by Borah, because it's well worth pressing on past Butte City to the outlandish volcanic setting of the Craters of the Moon National Monument - a landscape that feels like it has been transported from another planet.
