Just kidding!!! Steve is the man - he is the person who suggested going through the Sawtooth Mountains and Redfish Lake in Idaho, which ended up being awesome. We literally got the last camping spot around Redfish Lake on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, though it's not really the "season" there (the Visitor Center was not yet open and half the campgrounds were closed). It was nice and warm there and partly to mostly cloudy but no rain. We did a nice short hike out around part of the lake.
And caught a nice view of Little Redfish Lake on the way out:
We have been avoiding interstates, and left Sawtooth by continuing up the Sawtooth Scenic Byway and then the Salmon River Scenic Byway up to Montana. It was a great drive along the river through tree-lined mountains and then into more "loose" mountains consisting of big rock fields, then back over a high mountain pass at the Idaho-Montana border, at which point we were in for a full day of rain all the way through Montana.
