Why drive this stretch
Drive this stretch when you want Idaho to feel like a real westward state instead of a short post-Yellowstone add-on. Rexburg remains the strongest east Idaho base on the current build, Idaho Falls gives the route a larger practical city stop, and Arco now serves as the handoff into the broader interior Idaho continuation.

Corridor read
This segment is meant to keep the Route 20 chain readable rather than turn every stop into an equal destination. Use the map and the compact companion rows to decide where the real linger time belongs, which support towns are mostly practical, and when the next live segment is the better continuation.
Treat the strongest anchor here as the place that carries the planning weight, keep the support stops proportional, and use nearby add-ons only when they genuinely strengthen the drive instead of distracting from it.
