1. The Famous Idaho<\/a> Potato Bowl Isn\u2019t Something You Eat<\/h2>\n

Although some may argue that the contestants look rather tasty themselves. The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl is an annual post-season college football bowl game that takes place at Boise State University. It\u2019s televised nationally so, yeah, it\u2019s kind of a big deal.<\/p>\n

2. Trudy’s Pies Are The Best Thing On Earth<\/h2>\n

Sweet tooth or not, you won\u2019t be able to turn down a slice of pie from Trudy\u2019s Kitchen in Idaho City. People often make the 45 minute drive out from Boise (or further!) solely for a bite of their treats, so sinfully delicious they\u2019d make a nun blush.<\/p>\n

3. People In Idaho Are White Water Thrill Seekers<\/h2>\n

I hope you\u2019re not afraid of getting a little wet. Idaho has more miles of white-water river than any other lower 48 state. This makes for crazy awesome, adrenaline-filled kayaking and river rafting trips, so strap on your life jacket and hold on tight\u2014it\u2019s going to be a bumpy ride.<\/p>\n

4. But You Can Always Kick Back And Relax In One Of The Many Hot Springs Instead<\/h2>\n

If raging white-water river adventures aren\u2019t your cup of tea, you can still enjoy Idaho\u2019s waters, minus the adrenaline. The state has the highest number of usable hot springs in the nation. This means you get to choose from about 130 naturally heated water spaces to just chill out and relax in.<\/p>\n

5. Idahoans Devour Anything Huckleberry<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t be fooled by those tiny purple-blue berries\u2019 innocent looks\u2014they’re dangerous. Well, dangerous in the fact that you\u2019ll soon be addicted to Idaho\u2019s delicious state fruit. You won\u2019t be able to get your hands on enough huckleberries, whether in pie, ice cream, jam or on their own.<\/p>\n

6. Sun Valley Has The Slopes Of Skiers\u2019 Dreams<\/h2>\n

Sun Valley basically gave meaning to the phrase \u201cpremier ski resort.\u201d It had the world\u2019s first chairlift and today continues to boast two fantastic peaks: Bald Mountain and Dollar Mountain. Plus, a slew of Olympic gold medalist skiers and snowboarders are from there, so you know it\u2019s gotta be good.<\/p>\n

7. Idaho Really Is The Potato King<\/h2>\n

\"Moving<\/p>\n

Believe what you\u2019ve heard, Idaho\u2019s claim to fame as the nation\u2019s top potato state is true. It\u2019s the largest producer of potatoes in the US, and the starchy vegetable is the state\u2019s main crop (which is saying a lot considering all the agricultural space they\u2019ve got going on).
\nThe downside is that most of those fresh and local potatoes are exported out of the state. But we promise that you\u2019ll still be able to find fantastic mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n

8. Boise Knows Its Basque<\/h2>\n

Big city Boise may have a little bit of everything when it comes to food, but Basque cuisine is taking over. Of course, no one minds, especially when there\u2019s as fantastic restaurants as Bar Gernika. I swear some people would kill for a taste of their lamb stew or a bite of their croquettes.<\/p>\n

9. Idahoans Are Used To Seeing These Guys Everywhere<\/h2>\n

\"Moving<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be surprised to see cows openly roaming around in rural Idaho. The state has open range livestock laws, allowing cattle to freely roam on open land outside of cities, villages and herd districts. So yes, this means you may find cows crossing the road (or sampling your garden).<\/p>\n

10. You Can Keep Your Avocado, Bleu Cheese And Bacon\u2014Hudson\u2019s Hamburgers Don\u2019t Need It<\/h2>\n

You may raise an eyebrow when you take a look at your first Hudson Hamburger, topped with nothing but cheese, pickles and onions (if you please). But after you bite into the juicy, meaty, perfectly cooked burger, you\u2019ll know why the Coeur d\u2019Alene joint has been open for over 100 years. The patties don\u2019t need any fancy schmancy toppings; they\u2019re perfect just as they are.<\/p>\n

11. Idaho’s Home To Heaven AND Hell<\/h2>\n

\"Moving<\/p>\n

When in Idaho, take a trip to the gorgeous 10-mile wide Hell\u2019s Canyon, with its boundless opportunities for outdoor activities. And don\u2019t forget to hike up to Heaven\u2019s Gate Lookout while there. At over 8,000 feet you can see four states\u2014Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington.<\/p>\n

12. The Fish Are Always Biting<\/h2>\n

\"Moving<\/p>\n

Bait your hook, cast your line and just wait for the fish to start biting (it won\u2019t take long). Idaho\u2019s home to some of the best fishing in the West, and you can take your pick from several fish-filled lakes and rivers. Favorites include Clearwater River, Snake River and Kelly Creek.<\/p>\n

13. The Corner Drug Pharmacy Does Ice Cream Right<\/h2>\n

You can find one of Idaho\u2019s oldest soda fountains at the The Corner Drug Pharmacy in Driggs. The fountain was handmade in Europe in the early 1900s and then shipped over to the shop. It\u2019s still dishing out some of the best ice cream around, and their signature milkshake, fresh lime freeze, is especially tasty.<\/p>\n

14. Idaho Plays Host To Some Ferociously Talented Fiddlers<\/h2>\n

Hoards of ultra-skilled fiddlers gather in Weiser each year to battle it out on the stage for the National Oldtime Fiddlers Contest and Festival. The competition is only for the best of the best and attracts musicians from across the country. But don\u2019t worry, us mere mortals can still enjoy the event by listening in awe.<\/p>\n

15. Every Morning Is A Good One If You Start It At The Kneadery<\/h2>\n

Get used to hearing the name \u201cThe Kneadery\u201d thrown around; Ketchum\u2019s favorite breakfast spot is known throughout the entire state. Their menu is guaranteed to have something to please anyone\u2019s taste buds, from cheesy omelets and fluffy buttermilk pancakes to crisp bacon and fresh Idaho potato hash browns. The huge portions, flowing coffee and smiling staff will keep you coming back for more.<\/p>\n

16. Take A Step Back Into Idaho\u2019s Mining Past<\/h2>\n

\"Moving<\/p>\n

It seems that there\u2019s a ghost town hiding in every corner of Idaho, most from the days of the gold rush. Even though the eerie towns still have standing buildings and structures, they\u2019re almost all abandoned. They\u2019re fun to explore, just hope you don\u2019t have any personal experiences with the ghostly tales that haunt some of them.<\/p>\n

17. Lake Coeur d\u2019Alene Is The Best Place To Spend The Summer<\/h2>\n

\"Moving<\/p>\n

After your first splash into that big blue lake, you\u2019ll never want to leave. Lake Couer D\u2019alene is like an outdoor playground, perfect for water activities like boating, kayaking, swimming and tubing. You\u2019ll be having so much fun, they may just have to drag you out of the water kicking and screaming.<\/p>\n

18. Fries And Fry Sauce Make The Perfect Pair<\/h2>\n

\"Moving<\/p>\n

Milk and cookies, peanut butter and jelly, fries and fry sauce\u2026well, you get the picture. It seems like French fries were made to be dipped into that creamy, orange tinged Idaho-favorite. What\u2019s in it, you ask? Fairy dust and unicorn tears, that\u2019s what\u2014or at least it\u2019s so delicious that it tastes like it (in reality it\u2019s mainly made of ketchup and mayonnaise, but shhh).<\/p>\n

19. Idaho Sheep Get Their Very Own Festival<\/h2>\n

\"Moving<\/p>\n

It\u2019s tough to find a place that herds 1,700 sheep through three cities each year, but Idaho sets the bar with its October Trailing of the Sheep Festival. Hundreds of people turn out to watch as the wooly animals are herded through Sun Valley, Ketchum and Hailey, all while enjoying performances, activities and great food.<\/p>\n

20. The Lava Landscape At Craters Of The Moon Is Out Of This World<\/h2>\n

\"Moving<\/p>\n

There\u2019s only one word that can describe Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve\u2014alien. Well, okay, you could probably also use phenomenal, unbelievable, spectacular and down-right amazing, but a spot with land created from molten lava flows deserves more than just one adjective. It\u2019s got everything from volcanic rifts and cinder cones to shield volcanoes and lava tube caves. What\u2019d I tell you\u2014alien, right?<\/p>\n

21. Take Your Pick From The Taps At Bittercreek Alehouse<\/h2>\n

\"Moving<\/p>\n

If you like beer you\u2019ll feel right out at home at Boise\u2019s Bittercreek Alehouse. However, if you love beer, you might just try to make the spot your actual home. They combine great food with a tap line that features 39 drafts from six different states, so no one will blame you if you never want to leave.<\/p>\n

22. Prepare To Scream Your Lungs Out At Silverwood Theme Park<\/h2>\n

\"Moving<\/p>\n

Idaho\u2019s Silverwood Theme Park, known as the largest theme park in the Pacific Northwest, isn\u2019t for the faint of heart. It might have its fair share of kiddie rides, but the real action is on Coaster Alley. The Aftershock, voted the top hanging coaster by the Travel Channel in 2012, will have you shrieking in both terror and delight (just maybe lay off the fried pickle chips and elephant ears before giving it a go).<\/p>\n

23. The Hiawatha Trail Is Where Biking And History Collide<\/h2>\n

\"Moving<\/p>\n

The Hiawatha Trail isn\u2019t only a scenic biking adventure. The several miles long trail runs along a section of abandoned rail bed that\u2019s linked to Idaho\u2019s mining and railroading history. You get to zoom through eight cavernous tunnels, over several high trestles and near multiple waterfalls and streams, making for an unforgettable ride.<\/p>\n

24. Julia Davis Park Has All The Boise Fun You Could Ever Need<\/h2>\n

Want to come face to face with a giraffe? Watch a mini hurricane form right in front of your eyes? Or how about stroll through hundreds of beautiful, fragment roses? You can do it all (and more) in one spot: Julia Davis Park.<\/p>\n

25. The Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival Isn\u2019t Your Average School Concert<\/h2>\n

Your jaw will drop to the floor after hearing the raw talent of the performing students at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. The event, which features elementary through college students, isn\u2019t your average school concert. It\u2019s been running for almost 50 years, is said to be the largest Jazz fest west of the Mississippi and was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 2007.<\/p>\n

26. You Won\u2019t Mind Getting Sandy At Bruneau<\/h2>\n

The mountains of sand at Bruneau Dunes State Park are impressive in themselves, home to the country\u2019s highest single-structured sand dune at 470 feet tall. But you can also fish, bird watch, swim, camp and hike while on the sand. However, the real fun is in renting a board, climbing up a dune and sledding all the way down.<\/p>\n

27. Idaho Is All Blinged Out<\/h2>\n

Known as the gem state, Idaho seems to sparkle inside and out. It has 72 different types of precious and semi-precious stones, including garnet, topaz and opal. You can rockhound them yourself or just stop by the local jewelry store for a little well-deserved to-you present.<\/p>\n

28. Catch A Flick At the Spud Drive-In<\/h2>\n

You may think there\u2019s nothing in Idaho\u2019s potato-farming region but, well, potatoes, but you\u2019re wrong. The area\u2019s home to the iconic Spud Drive-In Movie Theatre that plays recent films you can enjoy from your car. Its real claim to fame though is Old Murphy, a 1946 Chevrolet flat-bed truck with a huge potato on its back.<\/p>\n

29. You Can Set Your Watch By The Soda Springs Geyser<\/h2>\n

Well, almost<\/i> every hour. When the wind\u2019s blowing hard, the world\u2019s only captive geyser stays off, but on other days it can reaches heights of 100 feet in the air. Why did they need to cap the geyser in the first place? Well, someone may have accidently hit a natural hot springs pool during a drilling operation\u2026.<\/p>\n

30. You\u2019ll Never Run Out Of Places To Explore<\/h2>\n
