Bucket List: Top 5 Adventures for the new yearGo
To Hells Canyon – Drop down into the deepest river gorge in North
America, Hell’s
Canyon. Jet boat rides on this stretch of the Snake River are
highly recommended for adventure seekers of every age. Hiking,
horseback riding, rafting, fishing and many other forms of
recreation are abundant.
Get Lost in the Frank Church “River
of No Return Wilderness” – Included within the boundaries of the
Salmon-Challis National Forest lies the 1.3 million acre Frank
Church River of No Return Wilderness Area , the largest
wilderness area in the Continental United States. Rugged and remote,
this country offers adventure, solitude and breathtaking
scenery. Float the wild & scenic Salmon River or the
Middle Fork of the Salmon River, travel on horseback to a back
country lodge or try your luck on a hunting or fishing excursion.
Professional outfitters and guides offer trips of various lengths
and interests into the wilderness area and trails are well marked
for hiking.
Fish Like Hemingway – Ernest Hemingway spent
quite a bit of time in the Sun Valley area, fishing and reveling in
the surrounding beauty. The fishing areas around Sun Valley, Silver
Creek, Copper Basin, the Big Lost and the Big and Little Wood
Rivers, are still popular
fishing spots today. Some consider Sun Valley the divine
destination for fly-fishing, while the Snake, Clearwater, Salmon and
many other rivers and alpine lakes are also teaming with fish just
waiting to be caught. Many Idaho Outfitters and Guides specialize in
fishing trips throughout Idaho or give it a go on your own.
Ride the Rapids - With over 3,000 miles of
whitewater, Idaho offers adventure opportunities for everyone.
Whether your taste runs from a white-knuckled roller coaster trip or
a mellow scenic float, a river awaits you in the Gem State. All
levels, abilities and time on the water can be accommodated. Choose
anything from a half-day float on the Main Payette River to a
multi-day trip on one of the top 10 whitewater rivers in the world,
the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. Don’t you owe it to yourself to
try something incredible and take advantage of the most plentiful whitewater
in the United States?
Follow the Falls – When
travelling through the State, seek out some of Idaho’s
waterfalls along the way. Tucked away on a mountain trail or
dominating a canyon view, these waterfalls are each unique and
impressive. Eastern Idaho: A popular
starting point for hikers, Cave Falls near Ashton is only 20 feet
high but stretches 250 feet across the Falls River in the southwest
corner of Yellowstone. Two of the most spectacular waterfalls in
Idaho include 114-foot Upper Mesa Falls with its boardwalks and
viewing platforms and the nearby 65-foot Lower Mesa Falls near
Ashton, ID. Northern Idaho: Moyie Falls near
Bonners Ferry is a spectacular sight packed tightly within the
canyon walls of the Moyie River. The Moyie Bridge hovers between the
canyon walls, suspended 450 feet over the whitewater. Shadow Falls
(25 ft.) and Fern Falls near Kingston, ID are on a tributary of
Yellow Dog Creek and can be found by taking a short walk (100-300
yards) on a trail. They are best viewed in spring and early
summer. South-Central Idaho: At Thousand Springs
near Hagerman, watch as springs thought to be the re-emergence of
the Big Lost River erupt from rocky canyon walls and gush to the
river below. More springs bubble up from below creating beautiful
blue pools. Deal
