Idaho Falls to Reno/Tahoe to San Fran is more direct. Las Vegas is quite a bit further South. Could encounter bad conditions again crossing from Nevada to Cali.

Make sure you keep track of the weather conditions for Helena and Butte before you go down. You don't want to hit that area if there is a blizzard forcast. It is a long drive to Idaho Falls - we normally leave at 6:00 am and we are in Idaho Falls for supper. We usually continue further south, down to Salt Lake City and spend the first night there.
