Twotoes Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 I’m traveling from Rexburg Idaho to Omaha Neb next month. Looking at taking Hwy 26 out of Idaho Falls to US 191 in WY connecting onto I-80 east to Omaha. I’m driving a 43 foot Class A and will be pulling a U-Haul trailer. The alternative route would be I-15 to I-84 (around St Lake) to I-80, all interstate. The first route is about 2 hours shorter but I’m not familiar with how steep the grades are.

trailertraveler Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 We have driven US-191 between Hoback and Rock Springs several times pulling 30+ travel trailers and found it to be a pleasant drive. Have not done it in the past few years so do not know about current road conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2gypsies Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 191 is practically flat in that area. 26 is, also.

TreyandSusan Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 We've done it in a 65' Combination HDT and fifth wheel. Great Drive. Grades were not a problem.

bobsallyh Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Twotoes, we are sitting in Rigby now. In fact we were in Rexburg today at Walmart. There is no need to go back into Idaho Falls to get to US 26. Come west on US 20 from Rexburg to Rigby and jump on RT 48. You will come out on Business US 26 at Ririe and a short hop to US 26.
