Drive From McCall to Ketchum

I%26#39;m planning a drive from McCall to Ketchum. In using mapping program, it sends me into Boise, then north to Lowman.

In looking at a map, I see that I could drive McCall to Banks, then head east toward Lowman, skipping Boise. What%26#39;s this drive like? Are there any facilities (places to eat, restrooms) along this route to Ketchum? Any suggestions? Thanks.

When are you planning this travel??

Drive From McCall to Ketchum

Mid-July. I should have mentioned that in my post!

The road is easy and beautiful. There are a few hot springs on the way, if you are interested i will post them. Not much of food , so bring your own. Lots of places to picnic and watch the kayakers...fun, You go along a stretch that has wild white water.

We love to go that way to Boise. enjoy

Charley - thanks for the help.

Is the road paved? Some maps show it as paved, others show it as gravel.

Paved all the way to Montana if you wanted to go that far. Perhaps one of the prettiest drives in the state with loads of wildlife viewable from the road even. Also plenty of places to stop for food, good little funky Lodge/restaurant in Lowman for example. Suggest you get better maps, while maybe the road could be closed in the winter it is surely paved.Lots of fun sidetrips too.

I was going to ask anyone if Danskin Station actually bit the dust or not (shows you how hip I am)... just thinking this might cross paths with that question, or maybe not.
