Here are few of the things we discovered about our Idaho travel experiences that surprised us and catapulted it into our top 5 states in the USA list. We still have so much more to experience. 

Idaho Borders Two Spectacular National Park

Did you know that Yellowstone National Park is also in Idaho? It’s only 1% of the park comprised of the Island Park Caldera which stretches into the Western section of the park.

Having just over 60% of an entire state federally protected is a BIG deal and one of the reasons Idaho is so pristine and full of outdoor adventure. 

A Fascinating Volcanic Story

The impressive and lunar-like Craters of the Moon National Monument is a fantastic place to learn this tale and see it firsthand.
