Idaho Ultimate Travel Guide

The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of Idaho is my favorite food: potatoes. Idaho is so much more than a potato with its natural beauty and picturesque wilderness (but man their fries are the bomb). Outside of its capital Boise, Idaho is a northwestern U.S. state known for mountainous landscapes, and vast swaths of protected wilderness and outdoor recreation areas. The area around Boise is known for its easy access to white-water rafting and fishing. Some of the most posh luxury ski resorts are in Idaho, and it is quickly becoming a tourist destination as flocks of Americans move to this beautiful state.

BUCKET LIST EXPERIENCES

  • idaho potato museum gorgeous

    Visit the Idaho Potato Museum

    With ticket prices being at most $6.00 and a quick stop off the main highway in Idaho, make sure you stop at the Idaho Potato Museum for a super weird and awesome adventure. Don’t leave without trying the potato ice cream, because its freakishly good.

  • Young woman wearing sunglasses, pink jacket, and black shorts, smiling and posing with her hand on a graffiti mural of a woman's face on a brick wall with graffiti art and street signs reading 'Breaking Boise' and a warning sign for unauthorized vehicles.

    Walk through Freak Alley

    In downtown Boise, there is a whole block dedicated to some of the wildest street art in one area. This easily missed spot is a great place to visit when strolling through Idaho’s state capital.

  • Group of people white water rafting on a river, wearing safety helmets and life jackets

    Ride the Bull White Water Rafting

    In case you don’t already know (I didn’t), riding the bull in white water rafting is when you sit at the front of the raft with your legs hanging over. Ok maybe you don’t have to do that part, but definitely go white water rafting in Idaho!

  • Waterfalls cascading over rocky cliffs into a green river, with a landscape of houses and hills in the background, under a clear blue sky.

    Visit The Niagara Falls of the West

    Located three miles from Twin Falls, Shoshone Falls State Park is a natural beauty on the Snake River. At 212 feet, the falls are higher than Niagara Falls and the entire area will take your breath away.
