Things to do in Idaho, USA
The best thing about Idaho vacation rentals is their proximity to the great outdoors on a really grand scale. In the summer there’s Yellowstone National Park with hot springs, geysers and fumeroles including the aptly named Old Faithful. If you want hiking and rock climbing there’s City of Rocks National Reserve where some of the boulders are more than 100 meters high. For a little cowboy and Indian fun for all the family visit Custer Ghost Town or if it’s wildlife a good place to see bald eagles is Lake Coeur d’Alene which also has 135 miles of shoreline. If you enjoy golf there is also a very up-market golf course in this area. For boating and rafting Salmon River is the longest free-flowing river in the US with an 85 mile wilderness section.
In the winter an Idaho vacation rental puts you in reach of some of the best winter sports resorts. There’s Silver Mountain Ski Resort 30 miles east of Lake Coeur and a large number of other top destination ski resorts throughout the State. In fact, Sun Valley was the first ski resort in the US. This is one area of sport that really offers something for everyone with skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, snowmobiles, sledding and much more. Hiking and walking are also good activities at any time of the year with the famous Lewis and Clark Trail which runs through the twin cities of Lewiston and Clarkston.
