The 30-40 mins from Mt Home to Boise feels like 2 hrs.

Depends on whom your with. For me - it's like 3 hours.

If that’s the proper use of whom, I don’t want to use it right.

How long does Winnemucca to Bend feel like? That’s got to be worse.

Never gone to Bend through Winnemuca but does it go across Christmas Valley? That's a horrible drive & named even worse.

Worse than Christmas Valley.

When I was stationed at Mountain Home AFB we lived in Boise. Made this drive 2x

Price to Green River wants to have a word

Price is bad enough on its own.

Choke

I've done both. Needles to Vidal is uglier - but that's an ugly drive for sure.

West Texas is hideous.

Have you even been in those mountains? Or just judged thrm from the asphalt?

We are talking about the drive through Nevada. It's hideous. I'm sure there

LiveCoug

6/28/20 2:37pm

NV is the most mountainous state in the US. I think the drive is pretty.

Obviously it's subjective, but I'd guess the majority would disagree with you

The Fillmore Beaver area is an ugly stretch of Highway

Utah folks are spoiled

So true.

I love that area.

That’s the best segment between SLC and St George

oohYeah

But...but...you get to Fillmore Beaver!

Holbrook AZ to Bluff UT is about as bad as it gets.
