Sorry for the late reply...

I 2nd HWY20

A couple more:
1st: HWY12 (aka Lolo pass) start around Kooskie ID and end at Lolo MT.
2nd: 200 (MT200) from Sandpoint ID to HWY93 (outside Missoula/Frenchtown MT).
Another section of road: Going to the Sun RD. (By Glacier).
There is always HWY95 from Grangeville ID to New Meadows, then ID55 (McCall) comes out northwest of Boise ID.

Without a doubt hwy 20 in Washington, drop down in Wenatchee straight south to hwy 12 and head east to Missoula. Depending on how much time you have or want to take, I can offer additional routes.

Traveling from Las Vegas north to Reno you may want to stop for the night in Tonopay and get a reservation at the Mizpah Hotel. Historic, renovated several years ago. Good food. Then on your way to Reno stop in Viriginia City. I recommend the Peppermill Hotel and Casino in Reno. Good food, nice place.
