DAY 1 Details
MORNING:
Driving Highway 93
Get ready for a long one! It’s about an 8-hour trek from Goodyear to Ely, mostly following Highway 93. We’ll have plenty of desert scenery to take in along the way—and hoping for some decent restroom stops throughout the trip!

AFTERNOON:
Pit Stops & Neon Lights
We’re clocking some serious miles today! We should be rolling into Ely around 5:00. Once we check into the hotel, take care of Koa, and drop our bags, we’re hitting the town to see what kind of cool stuff we can find.

EVENING:
Doing Time
Next up: food! The Cell Block Steakhouse at the Jailhouse Casino looks like a pretty legendary spot for dinner. Afterward, we might try our luck at the tables—unless we stumbled upon a cool club during our walk earlier that we want to check out.

NIGHT:
Saloon Tunes & Early Moons
The Corner Tracks Saloon might be on the radar for music and drinks! We’ll just see how the night goes/how we feel, but either way, it’s early to bed or early to rise—we’ve gotta be fed and ready to hit the road by 9:00 AM tomorrow (or the earlier the better).

DAY 2 Details
MORNING:
Caffeine First, Idaho Second
Good morning! First order of business: breakfast. We’re definitely swinging by Beans & Brews Coffee House to get that essential morning fuel for the caffeine addicts in the group. Once we’re charged up, it’s back on the road to soak up the scenery on our way to Boise. Hello, Idaho!

AFTERNOON:
Bags Down, River Bound
We’re aiming to roll into Boise by late afternoon—around 4:00 PM, depending on how our morning pace goes! First things first: getting checked in and settled at the Extended Stay America. Once we’ve unpacked and freshened up, the plan is to head to the Greenbelt along the Boise River for some walking and eating.

EVENING:
Stroll, Eat, Repeat
Ready to hit the Greenbelt! This 29-mile, tree-lined oasis is basically the heartbeat of Boise, winding right along the river with perfect views and tons of wildlife. It’s the ultimate place to stretch our legs. Plus, we’re grabbing dinner at the Refugee Restaurant & Lounge—a total local gem right on the trail. Think comfort food, cold beers, and sports on the big screen. If we’re still feeling energetic afterward, we can keep the stroll going and walk off that dinner!

NIGHT:
City Lights or Hotel Nights
At the end of the day, our night in Boise is entirely our prerogative. If we’re feeling energized after dinner and want to keep exploring the city lights, then that’s the plan! But if the road trip miles have finally caught up with us and we’re ready to call it, heading back to the hotel to kick our feet up is just as perfect--no pressure and no agenda.

MORNING:
Morning History Hunt
Rise and shine! After we grab some breakfast, let’s hit the road early to squeeze in a visit to the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial. Once we’ve taken that in, we need to be at the Boise Trolley station by 9:50 AM sharp—our 10:00 AM historic tour awaits! It’s a two-hour deep dive into the city's past, so it’ll be a great way to kick off the day and check out places we might want to visit later.

AFTERNOON:
Paws, Penitentiaries, & Parks
Once we wrap up our trolley tour, we’re heading straight to Hyde Park to wander, shop, and grab a bite. The rest of the afternoon is wide open—we've got the Old Idaho Penitentiary on our radar, or we can check out any other hidden gems that caught our eye earlier. Before we dive into the evening, we’ll head back to the hotel to let Koa take a bathroom break, get him fed, and freshen up ourselves. Then, we’re ready for more exploration.

EVENING:
Art, Eats, and the 8th Street Beat
For our evening in Boise, we’re heading to the 8th Street Promenade! It’s a great spot to soak up the city's energy, stroll around, and dive into whatever entertainment or eats catch our eye. And we definitely can’t miss a wander through Freak Alley Gallery—a must-see for some local color and incredible street art.

The Final Boise Call
Whatever the night has in store—whether we’re soaking up downtown until the lights go down or calling it an early night at the hotel—we’ll need to be ready to hit the road bright and early the next morning!
