The Idaho communities of Driggs, Victor, and Tetonia, which sit quietly on the eastern side of the Tetons, are picturesque destinations for adventur- ers who seek nonstop outdoor action with- out the crowds. Be sure to experience the small pleasures within this vast vacation- land, like an enjoyable ride on Rexburg’s antique carousel, a huckleberry shake in Victor, and a night of old-fashioned family fun at the Spud Drive-In in Driggs.

  • A Trip Diary – Summer 2010 5/25/10 I Left Home About 10 AM on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 and Headed East Toward Troy, Idaho. Then I
    Please note: this is the “raw” mostly unedited musing as I travelled – don’t expect polished writing and do expect typos! Teresa Gordon’s Adventures in Montana: A Trip Diary – Summer 2010 5/25/10 I left home about 10 AM on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 and headed east toward Troy, Idaho. Then I took road to Kendrick/Julietta – always a great view of the distant mountains over the rolling wheat fields when one climbs out of the “gully” in which Troy is located. The grade getting back down is steep and windy and then the road back up out of Kendrick is equally windy and slow. This time it was really slow because I was following some sort of dump truck with red-colored contents – possibly treated seeds to plant. He could only go 10 miles per hour up the grade and just wouldn’t pull over! Finally, I got around him and then tried to be courteous to those behind me, whenever possible. But there aren’t many pull offs on that park road! The drive down the canyon to Freeman Creek campground is always interesting and with the motorhome, the many 10 mph curves really are “one-lane” – fortunately, I met no one on either the trip down or the trip back up the next day. The campground was very quiet with just 3 or 4 other rigs – so I had my pick of pull through sites. It was a lovely day with scattered fluffy clouds and about 65 degrees. We did the usual nature trail hike (Placid Lake).
