Scenic Byway Drive Highway 93 - Elk Bend Idaho

[@donalddday7741]

drove semi up to Hamilton Mt a couple of times and i just bought a lot in elk bend on 2/28/20 will be moving up there as soon as snow melts, you are allowed to stay 6 months at a time like in Quartzsite in a camper/ motorhome, dont need to put in a septic(they have people who come to out empty black tank or go to rv park to dump) lot has water and power at street if you want it have to get hooked up $$, so summers up their winters in Az.

Thanks so much for sharing and letting me ride along with you in the passenger seat from Covina California. -Russ

[@PapaBear143]

We went through there in 2022.coming down from Missoula. You are spot on about that drive; it is everything you said. People who live in cities and never leave them- they have no idea. We had the extra excitement of narrowly missing the Salmon Fire when we went through - imaging smoldering trees down by the road. But we are heading back this summer for an extended stay, can’t get enough!

7:55 Can you believe the chirping of that beautiful bird...I can't see the bird but sure the voice is beautiful!

[@eileencarman9752]

Really great to see another area of America. Thanks for making these videos.

[@unbreakablephoenix]

I live in Elk Bend. We love it here so much.

[@cathymiller3086]

I absolutely love your videos! Thank you for sharing!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@martyrose]

[@AmberHarrison13]

Thank you so much! I used to love on this stretch and miss it so very much, Im so happy you put this up

[@chrisgale5634]

Idaho scenery just stunning.

[@doctorartphd6463]

This was spectacular ! Thank you very much for sharing this video.

[@JW-es5un]

I cannot express how well you are videoing & narrating this trip.. I have not been to IDAHO. You are sharing her Beauty around every bend. You are giving us a view as if I was sitting next to You. Now ONWARD TRAVELER TO MONTANA.. The adventure carries on.. GOD'S BLESSINGS & SAFE TRAVELS

[@rvertv]

thank you

[@jeffkimber]

Russ, sure do appreciate your drone-cam look-arounds everywhere beautiful!

[@rvertv]

Thanks 👍

[@bosse641]

Very nice drive. Magical. So beautiful.

[@l.w.lavelle9724]

Russ Love's bridges.! See's a bridge, he's got to cross it ! Thanks for the Footage and Information ! Beautiful ! Happy Trails.. L.W.

[@markshaw7947]

Thanks for rolling around our part of the world and doing such a great job filming it. The historical markers can be googled up and there is a guide to them all. Next time through try to make it to Mesa Falls, Wallace and the Hiawatha Trail. Idaho has more dirt roads( 40k+miles) then you can explore in a lifetime and unless there is a sign saying you cannot camp then you CAN camp and should (FREE). More fresh white water then any of the lower 48 and more wilderness acres without human development then the most die hard hiker could hope to trek. Thanks Russ for sharing and enjoying your way through Idaho. Many people say "Idaho is as America was". Keep making the great videos.

[@BigAliG]

What a really lovely part of the world. You are really blessed to live in such a beautiful country. Great video

[@chrisr6157]

Hi Russ! This area is a gem!!! I am putting this on my bucket list! Thank you for this summer travel.....you are capturing the beauty with the camera and drone! Safe travels!

[@rvertv]

thank you

[@suemar63]

Wow--how enjoyable. I don't know HOW I got here, but so glad I did. I've done this stretch of road,--it was nice to see it again. I just love the drone shots--they give a unique view you just can't get from on the ground. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures. Thank you!

[@_Boregard_Rippy_]

several movie stars own fancy new retreats along US93 south of Soula along the Bitteroot. Peter & Jane Fonda for example. Thanks again Russ...KC..!!!

[@Jack-ot9ek]

It's no wonder the property prices are going sky high through the Bitteroot Valley.

[@_Boregard_Rippy_]

@@Jack-ot9ek Nathen (1ownercarguy) has a small lot on the east sde of US93 there also

[@agnaldos80]

Russ watched this on wide screen up close and this is so magnificent. Love the formations of the rocks and that Salmon River. I'm going to have to put this on my winter watch list. Going down that road would be a dream come true. WOW! So amazing. Thank you so much.

[@melaniecarlisle4771]

As always...great drone footage. Hwy 93 is an all time favorite of ours. My husband grew up in Missoula, Mt. We try to get back as often as we can. He retires in 2 yrs. We'll be sure to hit the road then..thanks Russ for helping to keep the dream alive! ❤

[@guymanges3628]

Boy Russ I wish there was some way you could make viewing road or highway signs so we could read them as you travel?

[@dufus2273]

wife and I travel that road sometimes as we go to salt lake city and back . lot to see that way.

[@smokiencooper4264]

Excellent drone footage! So beautiful there!

[@berniebouck2205]

[@rvlifeafterretirement1498]

I once worked with a guy from Idaho, he said it was beautiful. I believe it now. Lol.

[@davidj4662]

[@djf2918]

[@miloryan1]

Ok Russ you sold me on this route. I was looking for a route to Laughlin without going through California. Thanks so much.

[@rvertv]

thank you

[@alancarpenter4904]

I agree, Russ. I rode the entire way from Arco to Salmon last summer on the motorcycle and it was FANTASTIC. My most memorable day of motorcycling !

[@larsnothnick5736]

Oh my, how I miss Idaho! I was 4 times there. My aunt live in Boise and my uncle work near Council and before Featherville. Booth places with absolutely fantastic hot springs! Next year I want to do a RV tour from California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California

[@leerothman7570]

My wife and I stayed at a B&B on the left side of your drive today. It was fun. Sweet area indeed with the river right there. You were at an elevation of 4400 ft at Elk Bend :-)

[@chrislonsberry4571]

Will definitely check out that hi way! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@jesscarey7666]

Big thumbs up on this one Russ!! Hope all is well!! Take care sir!!

[@newengland2352]

There is a pdf you can download it's got the storyboards in it all through the state . I googled storyboards along highway in Idaho info and pdf came up. It's worth checking it out its called Idaho Historical Highway Marker Guidebook.

[@brucesmith9144]

That’s a great tip. Just downloaded it. The booklet is 164 pages!

[@evopwrmods]

Wow what a view. Thanks for sharing this.

[@bonnieclyne5618]

Such gorgeous scenery and photography! Idaho is amazingly beautiful. Have an awesome day, and greetings from central Florida!

[@rvertv]

thank you

[@mervjb809]

My son and I were on that road last Aug/ Sept. Hunted elk between Elk Bend and Salmon. Beautiful country

[@lindamoses3697]

This was sure enjoyable since I was raised in Idaho and haven't been back in many years.

[@michellecalling]

I just happen to come across your video. It is gorgeous. I never all that beauty was Idaho.

[@gailjohnson6670]

Beautiful...Thank you..

[@subaru4me]

Looks like that bridge you drove over is newer than October 2015. Looking at Google street view you can see them in the early stages of building the bridge and the old one is closed.

[@garybauer7574]

Lived in Boise for awhile beautiful motorcycle ride to confluence of snake and Columbia

[@cajunjamis9001]

Russ @ the 45th.....50/50 ! Way 2 go, Beautiful!! Cajun:-))))

[@dalekundtz4603]

So much beauty out west in the mountains. Where has the summer gone Russ? Hard to believe it is almost believe it is almost August. Stay safe on the road!

[@guymanges3628]

I wish PBS could take your work someday and make it for all to see. Thank you much.

[@ricfly52]

Great video Russ. I have been on that road many times. Heading up salmon fishing.

[@kirkadkison242]

Idaho - a wonderful place

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Well Russ in a couple weeks you can share a cup of coffee with Santa and Mrs. Claus. North we go. I agree with the area being a pretty area to see and drive through. Happy trails.

[@jabnola]

When I get to RVing Idaho is on my list!

[@VickyGeagan]

Hi Russ waved back at you. Love the scenery this has to be your best series yet.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

🙋Hello Russ! Well, One of your other subscribers found your info about the story boards - still - it has been a very interesting state, as well as beautiful!

[@jknewb6276]

Yup, I think I could be an Idaho hermit. In the summer!!!

[@chuckergm]

[@bettybrown2429]

I know God said not to envy ,but this is pretty country. I live in Florida.

[@joanwright4315]

Another great video thanks Bill from ohio

[@ldeshner]

Russ how come you are not boon docking lots of places?

[@Gmar69]

Hey, Mr. Iona, Idaho here, if you think about the cell towers that you keep driving by, they are there to enable tourists to visit Idaho comfortably and to further promote more travelers like your family to keep coming back. Thank you for visiting Idaho.

[@robertricker2727]

They have a sign like that on I-5 just North of Eugene Oregon

[@axmancometh8708]

Great footage both drone and on the ground the skies in Idaho are mesmerizing having a mystical quality,are you going as far north as Bonners Ferry then taking highway 2 to Whitefish?

[@musicmarlene]

I live in No Idaho, have been to Salmon. Have Elk Bend and highway 93 on our list

[@susanMarkle]

Another great video

[@johnbrownlee7623]

Do you ever take the time to fish?...What fine job you did on your Video.....Thank you for sharing...............John......

[@alanwilson2897]

Love your videos. But I live near Salmon and I lose my cell signal after leaving salmon. I verizon too. Just thought everyone did without cell during that drive.

[@j-marie4006]

I haven't missed a video!

[@xstanadu]

So beautiful ~ have you been to Stanley , Idaho ? Looks beautiful there ~ hope to get to Idaho ~

[@carlmj16]

But but you’re going to attract a ton of Californians to move out here with this insanely beautiful video 😂

[@tootsla1252]

Don't flatter yourself. I'd rather be set on fire than live in that Mormon/Republican controlled hillbilly heroin, shitty weather five months of the year meth haven. Idaho is very beautiful. Wonderful place to visit - wouldn't want to live there.

[@garybauer7574]

Good morning

[@sromo522]

I waived back !

[@swansodi]

The best is yet to come, wait until you go north from Salmon!

[@djf2918]

Russ, Gotta post the type of drone and camera used.. Thanks, Dj
