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.
