Idaho is home to a significant stretch of the Rocky Mountains, the Great Basin, and the Snake River Plain, all of which feature spectacular, scenic and tranquil bodies of water to explore and enjoy. Add to these untouched mountainous terrains, fantastic parks and recreation areas, magnificent lakes, the deepest gorge and the highest waterfall in the country, and you have a wealth of incredible scenic landscapes to explore. So, don your hiking boots, pack a picnic and head out into the countryside to enjoy some of Idaho’s top state and regional parks, and recreational areas.
