Hey there!
First post here... I am a college student, currently living in the Los Angeles area. I am interested in transferring to Montana State up in Bozeman but want to visit first!
Flying into Montana is expensive as hell and quite frankly, I enjoy driving more.
As the title says, I'm trying to get up there in Late November/Early December and brevity is key on this trip. The most direct route is 17 hours. I plan on doing 8.5 hours of driving, ending up in Utah for the first day, then ending up in Bozeman, visiting, staying overnight, then basically repeating the process back down to SoCal.
Anyone have any advice on weather or good places to stop in central/Northern Utah? This is my first solo drive, but my buddy and I completed a big one last summer (From PA to CA).
