The drive down to Arco, ID was long but mostly scenic. Once we dropped into Idaho the mountains pulled back and we found ourselves in high desert scrub. A stark departure from the last few weeks. The temperatures climbed into the upper 70s which meant the truck was running warmer than in previous days but nothing extreme. We are staying in Mountain View RV Park ($42 per night with GSC) in Arco Idaho. It’s the closest RV park to Craters of the Moon NM. The sites are gravel, but mostly level with good utilities and high speed WiFi. The sites are spread out nicely as well giving us plenty of room to stretch out. We will be here until 1 July to visit the two NM and one NHS in the area. We must say, it sure is good to have full hook ups again!
For the last three months we have been crossing back and forth across the Continental Divide. On the drive south, we crossed the Continental Divide three times. We are currently on the west side of the divide, but we will cross back to the east side when we drive back north. Interestingly, the border between Idaho and Montana follows the Continental Divide for most of the border.
