About Teton Scenic Byway
Teton Scenic Byway is a 68.1-mile drive in eastern Idaho, designated both a National Forest Scenic Byway and an Idaho State Scenic Byway. The Forest Service manages the land along it. The route links a string of small towns: Ashton, Drummond, Tetonia, Driggs, Victor and Swan Valley. Any of them makes a natural starting point, stop or turnaround. Summer is the most comfortable season for the drive. July and August typically reach highs around 83°F with lows near 50°F and the fewest wet days of the year, according to typical averages from a nearby weather station at Ashton. Winters there are cold, with January highs typically around 29°F. The byway passes close to plenty of places worth stopping for. Poison Creek and Liars Pass are hiking trails right along the road, and Pine Creek Campground sits within a short distance of it. Falls Campground is about 1.7 miles away for overnight stays.
