Spud Drive-In in Driggs, ID

Spud Drive-In in Driggs, ID is a piece of history that is a throwback to the 1950s. In fact, it opened in 1953 originally! The drive-in is an incredible way to watch a movie — in the presence of the Grand Teton Mountains.

Spud Drive-in is also a tourist destination all on its own thanks to the flatbed truck with a giant spud on the back of it.
