I'm at 41 hours right now, the only thing left is my long XC and 1.5 hours of hood time until I've met all my requirements (other than a final sign off by my CFI).

I'm flying a C172 I've used for most of my training, and my route takes me through the mountains. I've flown in this area before, but all three stops are airports I haven't landed at yet. I've planned the route on paper, but I've been using Foreflight along side of the paper for all of the XC trips, so I'm taking it along this time too.

I'm leaving at 6am local time, my route is:

KMAN 44.16722N/116.23639W 44.32056N/116.02278W KMYL 44.95972N/116.80444W 44.79694N/116.945W KBKE KONO KMAN

There's a NOTAM for KMYL establishing a temporary tower, but I think I'll be in and out before it opens for the day. Either way I've got the frequencies written down.

Any last minute tips? I'm a bit nervous, but still pretty excited!
