[QUOTE="Spud, post: 1167482, member: 17601"] EARLY September is usually very nice in MT and ID, typically dry weather, perfect warm days (low 80's) but around freezing at night is possible. The areas that could give you trouble on I-15 if a cold system comes through would be from Dillon Montana to Idaho Falls (road climbs up over the continental divide) and the Malad Pass just north of Malad, ID. As stated elsewhere here, you have 80mph posted speed limits now through all of ID and UT except through a few major cities where it's 65. So, from MT to Southern UT you can really make great time. We sometimes get a very strong south to north wind through this region that can be a real mileage killer when heading south. On my SS1000 in June I had to stop 140 miles in from a full tank as I was about out of gas when I had a headwind like that. Your biggest traffic fustercluck will be from Ogden UT through Provo UT. Drivers there don't understand many things--the HOV lane on the right is usually the safest way to just get through it, depending on time/day. Odds are you'll have a fantastic ride with great weather. [/QUOTE]
