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 is the state capital and the largest city in Idaho. It sits right on the Boise River, overlooking the Rocky Mountains. There is plenty of room to move in Boise, as it is not overly crowded. This area's climate is semiarid; you will get to experience all four seasons. Dubbed "The City of Trees," this laid-back western town has made the top 10 for the greatest places to live. There are many things to do in Idaho; make sure you have plenty of time to see all the sights.
Wherever you look, nature is nearby. Boise has several thousand acres of parks as well as a Greenbelt which stretches for 25 miles along the Boise River. For those who enjoy sports, Boise has a number of local teams from which to choose. Don't forget the rodeo! Those looking for cultural activities will find everything from an opera company and a symphony orchestra to bars, clubs and coffeehouses.
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.
One of the most spectacular sites is the Shoshone Falls; this magical place is often referred to as the Niagara of the West. The mystical waterfall is 212 feet in height, giving a spectacular, picturesque appeal. The water flows into the Snake River and is 45 feet higher than the grand Niagara itself. This waterfall has been attracting tourists for centuries; it has been around since the ice ages.
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.
Idaho is an outstanding location for mountain biking. The state has 12,000 miles of single track. One of the best is at Swan Lake where bikers can bike through the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area. The conservation area is home to over 400 nesting birds, more than any other area in North America. The area also has tremendous hiking opportunities.
If golfing is your thing, Idaho has you covered. Teton Springs is a popular 18-hole golf course. This course is simply beautiful: It has creeks and lush plantation, which are grand to look at while enjoying the day playing golf. This course was designed by Byron Nelson, a legend to golf. Many have said that this is the best golf course in the Rocky Mountains. The staff here is also amazing and can give lessons to ensure you have the perfect swing.
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."
