The correct route from Boise, Idaho, to the Grand Canyon, Arizona, would take you through the Great Columbia Plain initially as you follow the Snake River southeast. Then, as you head south past the Great Salt Lake and through Utah, you enter the Basin and Range province, characterized by its series of parallel mountain ranges and valleys. Finally, as you approach the Grand Canyon in Arizona, you enter the Colorado Plateau, known for its high, broad plateaus and deeply incised canyons.
