11 Idaho Laws That Sound More Like Stupid Jokes
Idaho's a treasure trove of wonder...
tucked away in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Had no clue? Don't beat yourself up, friend. Most folks have no idea Idaho's anything more than a field of potatoes.
Often overshadowed by its more famous neighboring cities like L.A., Seattle, Salt Lake, and Billings, Idaho rewards those who take the time to explore it with magnificent views and landscapes, friendly locals with welcoming hearts, and an index of activities that cater to every kind of adventurer.
From the jagged peaks of the Sawtooth Mountains to the sparkling waters of Lake Coeur d'Alene, the Gem State boasts a wide range of outdoor experiences that make it a paradise for nature lovers. Hiking, biking, skiing, jet boating down the Salmon River, ziplining, fishing, bouldering, cave diving—Idaho has it all!
Festivals & Fun Times
When it comes to celebrations, Idaho doesn't hold back. The state hosts a number of cool festivals and rodeos year-round that showcase its unique cultural heritage, values, and love of fun. For example, the Trailing of the Sheep Festival in Ketchum is a special event honoring the region's sheep ranching history with parades, wool crafts, wares, and mouthwatering lamb dishes.
Boise's Treefort Music Fest is another one-of-a-kind highlight. It attracts musicians, eclectic businesses, and fans nationwide for a five-day music extravaganza. It's a spot-on example of Idaho's lively spirit.
