AEG to BOI

Well Known Member
One of my cross country legs from Florida to Idaho next month will be Albuquerque to Boise.
I was looking at one fuel stop at Heber City (36U).
My route: KAEG-36U-KLGU-U01-KBOI.
My preference is to fly though the south Idaho valley.
Is there another preferred route to Boise from ABQ? Looks to be a lot of restricted area going direct.
 
Hey Dan,

Going via 36U will put you east of the restricted areas west on the Great Salt Lake. Other than that I don't see any other restrictions other than the MOA's. I fly through those north of the lake in my 10 quite often. Flight following works if you are pretty high in the high terrain areas. A lot of times if the weather is crappy by PUC you can fly a little west to get out of it and fly up I-15 up to SLC than head NW bound.

Let me know when you stop in 36U. I'm based there in my 10.

Yes, I wanted to go west of SLC but opted for the 36U route instead. It looks to be a very scenic route going by Park City. I'll be returning via south valley. My son lives in Salt Lake City. If time permits, I'll look for you at 36U.
