Idaho is made up of many different regions that are all pretty different when you get right down to it. This is how most places work but it can be hard to tell exactly what is what and where when you are simply referencing a map. You can check out cities and how big those cities really are, though, that does not really tell you anything about that place or what goes on in that city. You are not going to know if a certain place interests you or if there is something missing about it that would make it worse or better for you to live or visit. For that kind of information, you need to go to someone who knows what they are talking about or do some extensive research about Idaho. I can be the former for you, though, I do not have the time to tell you…

One of the greatest things about Idaho is its history. A lot of cool things have happened in the state over the years and before the time it was even really a state at all (When statehood was just glimmer in some settler’s eyes) and Idaho works very hard to remember those times. If you are the kind of person who loves to visit new places because you want to find the museums they have that you can visit, Idaho is the place to be. Museums are everywhere throughout the state. There are museums for cleaning supplies and the potato. There are also museums that have the artifacts you are probably accustomed to finding in such a place, and I want to talk to you today about a particular kind of artifact, that being machinery used in the past that has been…

Idaho is probably one of the best places on the planet for getting out to the outdoors and just having a bunch of fun in nature. There are a lot of places like this in the world and a few other places like it in America, but Idaho has a certain quality all its own that is difficult to replicate. However, if you are coming to Idaho for an outdoor adventure you are also going to experience outdoor danger. Sometimes this danger is pretty minimal and similarly, there is also the chance that a situation could become life-threatening in the extreme. Idaho is another civilized state just like the rest of them, but there are certain things you can do in it that are not so safe and which can get you in a lot of trouble if you do not know what you are doing or…

Sometimes life can be a bit hectic and we just want to get away for a bit--just long enough to rest up and recharge our batteries. We often don’t even realize we are carrying the world on our shoulders until we take a minute to finally sit down and relax. Well, it takes more than relaxing for a couple of hours to properly do the trick. So, why not check out some of the beautiful weekend getaways in Idaho that will help you spend a weekend (or even just a night) away from the busy, and sometimes stressful, parts of life?

Take care of yourself and allow yourself the comfort of recharging your energy and taking a breather. Although some may not think of Idaho as a spot where one can find a fancy getaway excursion, or maybe it’s just that the area is…

Have you ever been to Boise? If not, then there may be a chance that you have not heard much about it (unless you are an Idaho resident), rather it is a great place to visit! Boise has kind of exploded in the last decade and has become an incredible city with a whole bunch of different things to do and destinations to explore. Idaho is growing and growing, and a lot of that growth is concentrated in the Treasure Valley and it's capital city Boise. If you are considering a visit to Idaho, there are seemingly countless destinations and activities to discover! And, of course, one of those places that may be calling out to you is Boise. That leaves the question "What is there to do in Boise?" There are a few things that everyone may want to consider…

What is the largest sport in Idaho? Well, obviously it’s football, but what is the largest sport that everyone is participating in? Well, obviously that is skiing, but what is the next most popular? There are a bunch, but one of the most popular sports you can take part in Idaho is hunting. Idahoans love to range out into the wilderness and try hunting down a tasty meal and people come from the rest of the country to join in on the fun as well. It takes you back to a different time in our history and can change the way you imagine the world. Of course, hunting is also a controversial activity, but Idaho is one of the many places where it is almost always done right. Sure, most people are still using guns that give them a huge advantage over the…

In the mountain state of Idaho, you’ll find an abundance of trails that are both breathtaking and idyllic. Winter transforms its scenic landscape into a snow-capped wonderland, and the rising temperatures of summer make hiking an outdoorsman’s paradise.

Here are some of the best natural swimming holes in the Gem State, offering respite from the elements and views that will make your hike one to remember.

Take a drive in the late spring about an hour from Boise and you’ll reach Jump…
