On-route place guide
Ashton
First fuller Idaho gateway town on the current west-of-Yellowstone Route 20 build.
Ashton
On Route 20
Ashton is the first fuller Idaho gateway town west of the Yellowstone-side connector. Use it when you want a real Idaho base after Island Park and before the route opens into the longer east Idaho stretch.
It is the best place to turn the Yellowstone west re-entry into a practical overnight, meal, or next-morning launch.
What it pairs with
Ashton pairs best with Island Park, St. Anthony, Rexburg, the West Yellowstone and Island Park segment, the West Yellowstone, Island Park, and Ashton segment, the Ashton, St. Anthony, and Rexburg segment, the West Yellowstone to Ashton Scenic Drive, the Ashton to Rexburg Route 20 Weekend, and the Yellowstone Approach store when you want to keep moving from the Yellowstone-side gateway into a fuller east Idaho stretch.
