Most people who live in Idaho do so for the beautiful scenery and active lifestyle offered there. Most of Idaho has that small town feeling where people truly connect with each other. However, Boise is a major city with all the modern conveniences that make life easier, such as world class health care. Idaho is still truly about the western way of life where people know and care deeply about each other.
Boise is the state capital and the largest city in Idaho. It sits right on the Boise River, overlooking the Rocky Mountains. There is plenty of room to move in Boise, as it is not overly crowded. This area's climate is semiarid; you will get to experience all four seasons. Dubbed "The City of Trees," this laid-back western town has made the top 10 for the greatest places to live. There are many things to do in Idaho; make sure you have plenty of time to see all the sights.
If it is skiing you like, then the Bogus Basin is for you. This area is less than an hour drive from Boise. Bogus Basin has been a favorite since 1942. They offer traditional cross country skiing or, for the adventurous, snowboarding and snow tubing. Since this area does get a traditional winter with lots of snow, it is great for skiing.
Idaho is blessed with a variety of lakes. Two of the better known lakes are Lake Coeur d'Alene and Redfish Lake. Lake Coeur d'Alene is located in northern Idaho and is well known as an international resort destination offering a number of hotels and resorts with beautiful lakefront accommodations; dining options featuring five star meals and lakeside views; world class golf courses and spas; and a variety of activities such as fishing, parasailing and seaplane rides. Redfish Lake, located in Central Idaho in the Sawtooth Recreational Area, gets its name from the sockeye salmon that migrated there. Visitors here can take guided fly fishing trips, or just do some fly fishing or spin casting on their own.
One of the most spectacular sites is the Shoshone Falls; this magical place is often referred to as the Niagara of the West. The mystical waterfall is 212 feet in height, giving a spectacular, picturesque appeal. The water flows into the Snake River and is 45 feet higher than the grand Niagara itself. This waterfall has been attracting tourists for centuries; it has been around since the ice ages.
Still, others love to head to the Palouse region. The area is great for hiking and biking across the silt dunes. The area is known for its wheat and legumes production. Fascinating tours of these farms can be arranged. The Palouse grasslands have been largely destroyed, but what remains of them is fascinating.
Most people come to Idaho for skiing at the Idaho City Park N' Ski Area, but now the area is a popular attraction during the summer as well. The city is now renting the yurts, or cabins, during the summer to help boost the economy. This area provides breathtaking hiking and bike-riding up the side of a mountain. Mountain biking is not only great exercise but is also a perfect way to see what Mother Nature has to offer.
Golfers will love Idaho. Some outstanding opportunities exist at the Headwaters Golf Club at Teton Springs, Pinecrest Golf Club at Idaho Falls, The Club at Black Rock near Coeur D Arlene, Crane Creek Golf Course at Crane Creek and Centennial Golf Course near Nampa.
To paraphrase one blogger, go to Idaho and you'll experience an adventure to remember forever.
