I agree. You definitely do NOT want to go into the back country of Idaho (Oregon
and the cascades are much lower and cooler) with a 150. In fact, you do not
want to go into any mountain strip under powered. I have a 182A with a STOL
kit and C-310 nose gear. It is a great back country airplane. I currently live
in Wy, but lived in Idaho, and have flown into some of their great strips.
There is a group of aircampers that goes to different strips every weekend in
the summer in Id.
PS
There is a danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be
to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty. So long as
men worship the Caesars and Napoleons, Caesars and Napoleons will duly rise and
make them miserable.

Go with a C-182 and I would say a 1959 C 182B. That is the best of the 182's for
what you are looking for. great back country A/C. The Cessna 180/185 would
be better, but much more money. I have owned 150/172/182 and others. Just
go with the 182!!!!!!

IMHO,
I would go with a 172. The advantages are: 1. More Horsepower. That equals better
climb rate (an asset in the mountains)and a few more knots. 2. More load
capacity. With you and your wife, you should be able to load the back seat
with camping gear or take the back seat out for a large cargo area. Either will
give you enough room for a weekend getaway. 3. Comfort. Two adults in a
152 no matter what size, will be cramped.
The 152 is a great training airplane but I personally would not have one for cross
country flying. I have a friend that owns a 152 and have flown a short cross
country with him. It was not the best but it did get the job done. I rode
with my arm on the back of his seat as we could not go shoulder to shoulder.
He flies cross country in the plane as a solo passenger. The right seat comes
out and he loads his camping gear and a bicycle on board.
