Destination overview

Situated in the north west of the United States in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, holidaying in Idaho is centred on wilderness, rugged landscapes and outdoor adventure.

Whether you’re cycling through the capital Boise, visiting the mesmerising Shoshone Falls, white water rafting the Salmon River, sipping on fine wine or immersing yourself in the Native American culture, there is no shortage of things to see and do.

Shaking off its reputation as a traditional farming heartland, Idaho is now considered one of the top destinations for outdoor recreation. Explore the backcountry from the scenic byways, passing historical sights, alpine lakes, flowing falls and high desert – opening your eyes to the vast landscapes that make Idaho so unique.

Idaho’s golf courses are equally spectacular, surrounded by blue lakes, mountain vistas and impressive natural settings. When the temperature drops, the fun doesn’t end, with the state transforming into a winter wonderland. From hitting the ski slopes in Sun Valley to relaxing in the Lava Hot Springs and skimming down the mountain on a tube, Idaho through the winter is an adventure playground for outdoor enthusiasts.
