How Rising Costs Are Shaping Idaho’s Summer Travel Plans

Have you noticed a drop in morning and afternoon traffic? It happens every year, from June through late August. Or for some with school-age kids, whenever school begins. This year has been especially challenging due to rising costs.

For some folks, it's a yearly pilgrimage to cooler climates like the Oregon Coast, or a short trip to McCall. The Oregon Coast is a day's drive away, but the temperatures are usually at least 20 degrees cooler. McCall is closer, but is becoming increasingly congested.

Some passionate Idahoans have saved their money to go see the World Cup in Seattle. The drive isn’t that bad, and when’s the next time the World Cup will be so close to the Gem State? Imagine the memories that will be made if you can afford the access?
