Driving to Stanley
Any way you drive into Stanley is a windy but paved road. There is no cell service for the majority of the way to Stanley from any of the nearest towns. In general, Google maps takes you the right way. Make sure to keep your eyes out for rocks and wildlife on the roads. If you are coming from Boise, there are two routes that go over windy mountain passes or up river canyons. If you are coming from Ketchum/Sun Valley, there is just one mountain pass you will go over.
