Idaho Travel Guide
Idaho borders Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Montana, Wyoming and the Canadian province of British Columbia (the Idaho-BC border which is 48 miles long). Idaho has a rugged landscape with some of the largest unspoiled natural areas in the country. Idaho is a Rocky Mountains state with exciting scenery and enormous natural resources. Idaho has towering, snow-capped mountain ranges, swirling white rapids, peaceful lakes and steep canyons. The churning waters of Snake River rush through Hells Canyon, which is deeper than the Grand Canyon. Shoshone Falls plunges down rugged cliffs from a height greater than that of Niagara Falls.
Idaho offers great outdoor opportunities. The Panhandle area has more than 2000 lakes, great rivers with kayaking opportunities. Sun valley has some of the best skiing possibilities in the US. Wallace is a small town in the middle of historic mining area. The mountains are all around and the scenery is great. Wallace is also the town they used in the filming of "Dantes Peak". Idaho is a very geographically diverse state. The Idaho Mountains run from the northern panhandle—with beautiful lakes and forests—down to the Boise area—the state capital and main commercial center. East Idaho is also very mountainous and full of small and friendly communities.
The major rivers in Idaho are the Snake River, the Clearwater River and the Salmon River. Other significant rivers include the Boise River and the Payette River.
