About Idaho State
Idaho is a north-western U.S. state known for mountainous landscapes, and vast swaths of protected wilderness and outdoor recreation areas. The capital, Boise, is set in the Rocky Mountain foothills and is bisected by the Boise River, which is popular for rafting and fishing. The city’s riverfront Julia Davis Park is a downtown green space containing a rose garden, museums, and a zoo.
Adjacent to Washington and Oregon in the Pacific Northwest, Idaho is a big state. It’s been said if you flatten all the mountains in Idaho, the state would be the size of Texas. Idaho covers two time zones, runs from Canada to Nevada, and encompasses the western side of the continental divide of the Rocky Mountains. Rivers, mountains, and farmland dominate the state’s landscape. The panhandle has emerald, green hillsides, timbered mountains, and pristine lakes. Central Idaho is covered with jagged peaks. The Snake River Plain, with its wide-open vistas, irrigated farmlands and vibrant cities forms the character of Southern Idaho.
