With our mission of photographing the Idaho Capitol complete late in the afternoon, we were ready to head toward home. Interstate 84 runs 230 miles directly from Boise to Snowville, Utah with an 80 mph speed limit. The view is pretty consistent - sagebrush and sand with a few interesting rock formations.
It turns out, though, that there are a few scenic spots along the way. We couldn't resist the urge to stop and inspect Paradise Valley and Bliss!
As we approached the Utah border, we stopped to take a picture of the Idaho welcome signs since we had entered the state on a low-traffic highway without much fanfare.
As we got close to Snowville, a sign warned "Next Services 35 miles," so we decided to stop in this small town and look for dinner.
Snowville claims 59 households with two gas stations, two restaurants and a small "mom and pop" motel. It was a tough choice between Mollie's Cafe and the Ranch House Diner but we went with the Ranch House.
After dinner, we pushed on, driving the 35 miles to Tremont, Utah, for the night.
