Around the Bend: Driving from Boise, Idaho to Vida, Oregon. Talk about a stretch of road that changes dramatically! Boise, ID, is a family-friendly town full of food, fun, trails, and history. Driving west takes family adventurers through high desert, rolling foothills, past another mountain biking oasis (Bend), and pine-covered mountains until we land at our destination: Vida, Oregon. There’s a lot to see and we want to share the miles!

Rock Springs, Wyoming: Mountains on the Horizon. After a wild ride across the upper Midwest, we’re happy to find a warm and inviting place to land for a night in Rock Springs. A historic town with a great brewery, tasty pizza, and comfortable camping, it’s also a jumping-off point to some of the wild natural lands that Wyoming offers.
