The number of homeless female veterans is on the rise: in 2006, there were 150 homeless female veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars; in 2011, there were 1,700. That same year, 18% of homeless veterans assisted by the VA were women.
Re: Best dramatic drive from Spokane to Salt Lake City. I have driven between Spokane and Salt Lake City and the drive is a beautiful mountain drive through the panhandle of Idaho and Montana. Huge forests of Pine. Nothing scenic to speak of though once you hit I15. We visited a working silver mine in Wallace, Idaho and a few ghost towns in Montana.
If you want to verify these driving directions or look for another possible route, you can try. Google Maps, Bing Maps, or MapQuest. 1  driving distance from Helena, MT to Spokane, WA. 2  reverse driving time from Spokane, WA to Helena, MT. 3  halfway between Helena, MT and Spokane, WA.  hotels near Spokane, WA.
