A mixture of forested mountains, alpine peaks, wildflower meadows, deep river canyons, and high plains deserts, Idaho is a paradise for golf, skiing, fly fishing, and river rafting. Boise, the capital, is the state's largest city and airline hub. North of Boise are golf, lake, and ski resorts from McCall in the south to Sandpoint and Coeur D'Alene in the north. East of Boise are the ski slopes of Ketchum and Sun Valley. East of Sun Valley are Craters of the Moon National Monument, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, and the small town of Island Park just across the border from Yellowstone National Park. Boise's Basque Museum and Cultural Center reflects having the largest Basque population in the U.S. Reflecting Idaho's diverse heritage, near the Idaho Historical Museum in Boise's Julia Davis Park is the Idaho Black History Museum's chronicle of the slave York who served the Lewis & Clark Expedition. After a family visit to the Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey and an outdoor performance at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, the next stop after Boise is likely to be Payette Lake in McCall or Sun Valley and Ketchum. About 100 miles north of Boise, past Cascade Lake, McCall takes you to the shores of Payette Lake. Go golfing, fishing, hiking, biking, waterskiing, sailing, boating, or whitewater river rafting. Ski or snowshoe Brundage Mountain or Tamarack Resorts, as well as Ponderosa State Park in winter. Ice skate year-round at Manchester Ice & Event Centre. About 450 miles north of Boise, there are resort lakes near skiing and golf at Coeur d'Alene, Hayden Lake, and Sandpoint. Golf, tennis, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, rafting, and hunting are popular in Sun Valley and Ketchum. Sockeye salmon may no longer do much spawning in Redfish Lake, but the boating and mountain scenery in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area make the short trip north to Stanley worthwhile. When the snows come the whole family will head for the slopes of Soldier Mountain, Bald Mountain, Dollar Mountain, or the Sun Valley Resort. A tiny forested town of about 250 people, Island Park has a large reservoir with fishing and boating, as well as Henry's Fork of the Snake River for fly fishing. It's only 15 miles from Yellowstone as well.

I came to the Sandbar with my kids & husband and we all loved it so much! There was music and liveliness and this place is a cute little shady oasis with an amazing patio atmosphere. The food was delicious too- Cecily, our server, was so precious and sweet and accommodating- she went above & beyond and it felt so nice, like being treated ❤️ Situated right along the river, I also thought about how this would be a great place to take a friend from out of town or have a business lunch.

This hotel is a clean & simple mid century modern gem! The hotel staff are friendly & the customer service is fantastic. The vibe for a relaxed drink or meal with the fire pits is divine. They also have free bike rentals during the day. The local 'cruise' does provide some loud road noise but I remember being one of those kids so now I jut laugh as they drive on by

Step into The Grove Hotel and experience the unrivaled style in downtown Boise, ID. Attached to the 5,400-seat Idaho Central Arena and adjacent to the Boise Centre, The Grove puts you just steps from the city's best shopping and restaurants.
Found a great rate on a third party site for a Thursday night. Wanted to stay close to the Boise VA to be there early for a 6am surgery. Our room was on the 8th floor and looked out onto the 4th floor outdoor patio, and capitol boulevard. Great view, and quiet. The beds were very comfortable. Got a wake up call at 4am, hubby needed his coffee, couldn’t get the in room machine to work. We called down to the front desk and told them of our dilemma, they brought him up two cups with creamer within 5 minutes! He was very appreciative of that! We had to leave to get to the VA at 530am, and we were apprehensive about getting in and out of the parking garage. The staff at the front desk were very helpful and called down to the garage to have someone standing by to help us get out if we needed it. That was a great relief! We would definitely stay here again.
