What to expect on the roads this route covers

Wilson Lane carries this route's longest single stretch at 1.23 miles without a turn. The Salmon River Scenic Byway/US 93 appears three separate times under slightly different directional names (plain, "South," and "North") as the route crosses it repeatedly, the same physical highway each time. Piva Lane and South 11th Street are each crossed multiple times (3x and 4x respectively) despite carrying under 1.25 miles apiece, reflecting Challis's tight, repeatedly-crossed street grid along the Salmon River.

Tips for this specific route

• Get comfortable holding speed on Wilson Lane. At 1.23 miles without a turn, it's this route's longest stretch.
• Don't be thrown by the Salmon River Scenic Byway/US 93 being labeled differently at different points. It's the same highway throughout.
• This office is closed Tuesdays, a genuinely unusual schedule; plan your visit around Monday or Wednesday to Friday.
