Idaho

Your vacation in Idaho awaits! Our door is always open to adventure seekers, outdoor enthusiasts and those just looking to get out and play. Learn about Idaho's scenic beauty, western history and diverse culture.

Lying east of Washington and Oregon, Idaho is a big state. It’s been said if you flatten all the mountains in Idaho, the state would be the size of Texas. To be sure, Idaho covers two times zones, runs from Canada to Nevada and encompasses the western side of the continental divide of the Rocky Mountains. Rivers, mountains and farmland dominate the state’s landscape. The panhandle is emerald green hillsides, timbered mountains and sprinkled with lakes of all sizes. Central Idaho is covered with jagged peaks. The Snake River Plain, with its wide open vistas, irrigated farm lands and vibrant cities forms the character of Southern Idaho.

Idaho’s history lies with its native tribes, the Lewis and Clark Expedition and determined pioneers on the Oregon Trail. With Idaho's unique history, inviting cities, and great outdoors, there's always much to do throughout the state. Enjoy Idaho's rivers; whitewater raft, fish, take a guided river tour. Sample at a winery, visit a museum, enjoy a Shakespeare play. Ghost towns. Train rides. Roller coasters. From fish hatcheries to horse races and gold mine tours, your "to do" list will only get longer as you discover Idaho.
