why you should visit Idaho now
Though most often associated with potatoes, Idaho claims some of the most beautiful scenery in the West. Like its neighbors Montana, Wyoming, and Washington, it has a dramatically varied landscape—as you travel across the state, you’ll see lush, rolling valleys one minute and pine-covered mountains …the next. One of the least densely populated states in the country (there is only one area code), Idaho feels blissfully remote. The magic of exploring here lies in all the surprises you’ll find along the way, including ghost towns, hot springs, and even lava fields.
