Getting There
Boise Airport receives daily domestic flights from all major airline hubs in the western states, as well as from Chicago and Minneapolis. Alternatively, Greyhound buses offer services between Idahos major towns and Amtrak buses provide connections from Boise to their nearest rail service.
I-90 and I-84, as well as state roads, connect all of the large towns, with beautiful scenic drives from Lake Coeur dAlene in the north through Lewiston (where Lewis and Clark stayed) to Boise, Twin Falls and Idaho Falls.
