From Bruneau Dunes we headed east to Picabo, Idaho — a tiny agricultural community that serves as the base for visiting Silver Creek and Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. From there we drove north to Ketchum to explore Sun Valley and make a day trip to Stanley through the Sawtooth Mountains. On our way out of Idaho we stopped in Twin Falls to restock at Costco and see Shoshone Falls.

From White Bird, Idaho we drove south to McCall — a scenic few hours alongside the Salmon River canyon, full of twists, turns, and stunning gorge views. Surprisingly, not a single cabinet came open. We spent a relaxed week at the McCall RV Resort before continuing south to Bruneau Dunes State Park, home to the tallest single-structured sand dune in North America and some of the darkest skies in Idaho.
