Overall Recommendation
For a comfortable and time-efficient journey, I recommend flying from Williston to Boise. Although driving may offer scenic views and a unique road trip experience, the travel time is significantly greater. When flying, use the suggested airlines, Delta Air Lines or United Airlines, to ensure a reliable journey. When driving, favor a route through I-84 W for the best experience.
