Idaho is the place to go if you’re looking for unspoiled natural beauty. It’s home to magnificent skiing in the winter and glistening waterfalls in the summer. We never knew that there were so many amazing things to do in Idaho until we visited!
When we visited Idaho on our one-year USA road trip, I was surprised by how much Idaho wowed me.
I knew the adventures and landscapes of the American Southwest would blow me away. I knew the Rocky Mountains would be striking, and that Oregon would be filled with waterfalls and fantastic coffee, food, and craft beer.
