Historical Photo (August 2009<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: Main St and US-20, Carey, Blaine Cty<\/p>\n

Reassurance shield as the three routes come together. They’ll all run concurrent through Craters of the Moon to Arco. To my knowledge, this is the first instance of the IDAHO BYWAY banner that is replacing the scenic brown shields.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: US-20 and Mountain View Dr, Blaine Cty<\/p>\n

As we head out of unincorporated Carey, we’re reminded that 26\/93 is open from Carey to Arco. No word on the concurrent US-20 (“but officer, I was driving US-20!”)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: US-20 and Mountain View Dr, Blaine Cty<\/p>\n

Reassurance shield new to the 2010 drive acknowledging that US-20 is the Peaks to Craters Scenic Byway. 26 and 93 aren’t important. I suspect that this byway designation was the one that made Idaho make the decision to dump brown signs for scenic routes, as this one was designated around the same time that decision was made (late 2009). Bummer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: US-20 and Visitors Center Rd, Butte Cty<\/p>\n

The main Craters of the Moon visitors center is accessible just after the Butte County line<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: US-20 and Visitors Center Rd, Butte Cty<\/p>\n

Reassurance shield with directionals after the visitors center, presumably so tourists don’t get lost.<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: US-20 and 2200 N Rd, Butte Cty<\/p>\n

Reassurance shield as we pass through some farmland once more. Arco is at the base of the mountains in the distance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Location: <\/strong>Grand Ave and Park Rd, Arco<\/p>\n

Several miles later, we’ll enter Arco<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: Grand Ave and Idaho St, Arco<\/p>\n

Junction…Crosswalk Ahead! This should be US-93, or 20\/26, or something. But not that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: Grand Ave and Front St, Arco<\/p>\n

Turn left for 93 North, while 20\/26 will continue East<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: Grand Ave and Front St, Arco<\/p>\n

Follow 20\/26 towards Idaho Falls- both routes heading their albeit in separate ways, and 93 North towards Mackay and Salmon<\/p>\n
