Weekend Getaways in Idaho
Visit Lake Coeur d'Alene, Lava Hot Springs, the Idaho Botanical Garden and other great attractions in Idaho.
Once a little town on the beautiful 600-foot-wide falls on the Snake River, Idaho Falls is a charming city with a range of attractions for the whole family.
Idaho felt like the kind of place that doesn’t raise its hand, but still holds your attention. The silence of mountain trails, the pull of a river carving through stone, the glow of sunset across a wide plain—it was humbling in all the best ways. I remember thinking, “This is the wild I didn’t know I needed.”
What stayed with me were the moments of stillness: soaking in a natural hot spring as snow fell around me, following a dusty road just to see where it ended, sharing stories under open sky. Idaho moved at the pace of the land—patient, grounded, and utterly unpretentious. I left with windburned cheeks and a full heart.
Whether you’re drawn to alpine lakes, backcountry trails, quiet small towns, or the kind of trip where nature leads and you simply follow, these guides reflect the Idaho I came to know. It’s a place for people who want to feel something real—and leave lighter than they came.
