Idaho: A Vacation of a Lifetime
In Idaho, majestic mountains compete for attention with turquoise blue lakes. Farmland is found just outside major city limits. And all across the state you can find ways to have fun: hiking, skiing, biking, golf, fishing, and boating.
Boise, the state capital, is located in the western portion of the state. Visitors to Boise can experience all four seasons. The weather isn’t too cold in the winter and it rarely snows. Summers can be hot but dry, with cool nights. With Boise State University located here, the city has a young, urban feel to it.
Visitors to Boise still really love their open green spaces. The city is filled with great parks, including Camel’s Back Park. Visitors should be sure to visit the World Center for Birds of Prey, which features the California Condor and many different breeds of raptors.
Nestled in the Sawtooth Mountains is Redfish Lake. This lake was named after the sockeye salmon that once overpopulated this area. At one time, this lake had so many fish, it actually had red spots all over it from the salmon. This lake is perfect for spending a day fishing, boating or swimming. The climate in Idaho is perfect for cooling off by the lake on a hot summer day.
Another stunning sight in Idaho is Shoshone Falls, along the Snake River. The falls are 212 feet high, which makes them higher than Niagara Falls. They are often called the “Niagara Falls of the West.” The best time to view the falls is in the spring and summer, after the snow melt.
Still, others love to head to the Palouse region. The area is great for hiking and biking across the silt dunes. The area is known for its wheat and legumes production. Fascinating tours of these farms can be arranged. The Palouse grasslands have been largely destroyed, but what remains of them is fascinating.
Hikers and bikers can sign up for fully-outfitted trips where organizers take care of all the details. Or, for a small fee, they can stay in yurts provided by the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation. The yurts contain everything needed for cooking meals, so all you need to bring is sleeping bags, food and water.
Golfers will love Idaho. Some outstanding opportunities exist at the Headwaters Golf Club at Teton Springs, Pinecrest Golf Club at Idaho Falls, The Club at Black Rock near Coeur D Arlene, Crane Creek Golf Course at Crane Creek and Centennial Golf Course near Nampa.
Don’t just take our word for it; Idaho is the place to be. Here are what some travelers had to say about their Idaho vacations: “There were so many things to do that we ran out of time. This was a friendly place to be. Life was simple here. The Shoshone Falls were captivating. Our favorite restaurant in Boise was the Shige Japanese Cuisine; the food was remarkable.” “My family stayed in a wonderful hotel in Boise. The staff was so accommodating and made sure that we were well taken care of. I enjoyed the room to breathe in this area. We had two weeks of pure heaven. We ate at several restaurants, but our favorite was, by far, Los Betos. They had the most authentic Mexican food we could find anywhere in the West, and the prices were great.”
