Idaho has some amazing roads to travel and explore. The Gem state is home to one of America's most scenic drives as well as one of the longest roads in America.

Idaho is well known to be a state with a lot of UFO sightings. As far as states with the most sightings per capita - Idaho goes back and forth but is always in the top 10. There is a cool little photo opportunity spot for space lovers in Wallace Idaho.

It doesn't matter where in the state you live or where in the state you plan to visit, there are unique and wonderful horseback riding experiences all over the place and for any and every age and skill level.

If heights scare you at all or you get shaky legs when you are not feeling super grounded and secure then this top Idaho view spot is not for you.

Vacations and travel are expensive but one less cost could be where you stay - If you are willing to let others stay in your home while you are away. There are 30 homeowners in Idaho that are already doing it.

The search for the fountain of youth and stories about it and the many who have looked for it may all lead to Idaho. That's right we have the fountain of youth right here in the gem state.

I recently wrote about Idaho's Biggest Tourist Trap. The 'landmark' that while in this case, fun quirky and even admirable, is not as worthy of time, compared to other options. So what about when we ARE talking about the real deal? Iconic places, landmarks, tourist locations and awe-striking spots that deserve time and attention...

You most likely have heard of Shoshone Falls, nicknamed "Niagara of the West" in Southern Idaho. Shoshone is magnificent and should definitely be on your list of falls to visit at some point but there are other incredible waterfalls in Idaho that deserve attention as well.

Idaho's biggest tourist trap, you may have guessed the big potato hotel Airbnb, or the potato museum or craters of the moon but no.

Bring on the stereotypes and the fun. I found a post from House Beautiful called "What the State You Grew Up in Says About You." I am someone who has moved a round a bit as an adult and wanted to know what each state that I have lived in had to say, ending of course with the great state of Idaho.
