Idaho Vacation Rentals |
Idaho Vacation Rentals welcomes you. Idaho has a lot more to offer than just its famous potatoes. With its northern and southern borders neighboring Canada and Nevada, its climate varies and it is divided into seven major regions, and each has a plethora of things to see and do.
The northern region is stunning with its thick forests, crystal blue lakes, and fantastic mountain vistas. Drive through towering white pine along the scenic byways and get a glimpse of bald eagles and osprey. There’s so much wildlife to see in this region like deer, elk, and moose, and fun activities to enjoy like golfing and skiing, depending on which season you visit.
Surrounded by winding rivers and deep canyons, the north central region provides you with a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, jet boating, or white-water rafting through the forests and rivers of Nez Perce territory. With other wildlife centers and state parks, you’re sure to take in a lot of fresh mountain air and exciting river journeys.
The southwestern region of Idaho has it all, forested mountains, high desert plains, and sun-drenched valleys. Fishing here will include rainbow trout, kokanee salmon, whitefish, and yellow perch. Go river tubing, or take a hot-air balloon ride over Boise. Feel like mountain biking? Bogus Basin Mountain offers trails easy enough for beginners. In the colder months, a sleigh ride might be just the thing you need, or get up and go cross-country skiing in this Nordic area with 2,600 acres of skiable terrain. After some time well spent in the rugged outdoors, make an appointment to stop by Bitner Vineyards in Caldwell for some wine sampling from its 14-acre vineyard.
Geologists and rock lovers have a lot awaiting them in the south central region. Climb the towering 60-story granitic rock formations of over 2.5 billion years old at the City of Rocks National Reserve. If water is your element, then be sure not to miss Shoshone Falls in springtime. At 212 feet, the falls are higher than Niagara Falls. No matter which season you visit, treat yourself to some natural healing. Banbury Hot Springs has hot baths and jacuzzis to get you ready for a good night’s sleep. You Evel Knievel fans might enjoy visiting the location where this daredevil attempted to jump the Snake River Canyon in 1974. So much to do and see here along with historical museums outlining the fur trading days, the gold rush, and the pioneer settlement.
In the southeastern region you can find out more about Idaho’s famous potato at The Idaho Potato Exposition, which features all kinds of interesting exhibitions on the potato industry. This region also features Lava Hot Springs, where you can soak in natural mineral waters that have remained a consistent 110 degrees for 50 million years.
If your vacation takes you to the central region, walk along and witness incredible ancient lava flows and features at Craters of the Moon Nat’l Monument. Learn about Idaho’s frontier mining industry, or visit the first power plant to produce useful electricity through atomic energy. On your biking journey, stop to see the Ernest Hemingway Memorial on Trail Creek Road. The Exhibit in Ketchum features photos and memorabilia of the author’s years in Idaho. History, geology, outdoor activity, and fine dining all invite you to come and spend time here, and staying in a Vacation Rental booked through VRResNetwork.com makes it most convenient and memorable.
