Martin Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 I am traveling from Crater Lake to Glacier and I would like to break this into a 2 day drive and stop for a couple nights somewhere around half way. Anybody have any suggestions? Also I am not sure whether to stay close to the interstates or use the state highways to travel from Crater to Glacier. Any advice would be appreciated. I am towing a 35 ft 5th wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2gypsies Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Take Oregon 97 north to OR26 east to I-84 in Idaho. Then get on ID 95 north and stop around Cascade - Lake Cascade State Park, McCall - Ponderosa State Park, Riggins - Canyon Pines RV or even Lewiston if you'd like to take a boat tour in Hell's Canyon. Hells Gate State Park is very nice and has shade. It's a hot area around Lewiston. There are other RV parks in these areas. From Lewiston (a big climb) take 95 north to Coeur D' Alene/Spokane - lots of choices to stay. Continue north to I-90 and then 95 north to Montana Hwy 2 at Kalispell, MT and Glacier NP. All is a beautiful drive! We've drive all those roads with our 40' motorhome.

From Lewiston....I would take Highway 12 over Lolo Pass and stop at Lochsa Lodge for dinner. Lots of FS campgrounds along the way, but you might be a little long for some of them. But you should be able to find a campsite. Keep you gas tank topped off at all times. From Missoula head north to Glacier Park.
