Hi Casey. I am planning on a trip to Idaho from MIchigan the first week of September. I pull a 30 foot travel trailer with a full size van. Is the loop going to be do able with my rig, or should I park the trailer somewhere before I attempt it? Did you see any other travel trailers on the loop? Thanks for your time.
A:
Loop is paved and fine for trailers
Q:
Can we take a 35 ft 5th wheel on the loop?
A:
