Located at the border of Idaho and Montana in some of the most mountainous country and therefore challenging for I-90 is where you'll find Lookout Pass which has an altitude of 4710 feet. You'll find "Exit 0" here.
The pass separates the communities of Mullan in Shoshone County, Idaho, and Saltese in Mineral County, Montana. It is the highest point on Interstate 90 between Seattle and Missoula. The pass is also a time zone border, with northern Idaho on Pacific Time and Montana on Mountain Time.
Drive carefully. I was reminded to do so by the "White markers represent highway fatalities" sign as I'm on the interstate in the snow.
