St. Anthony Sand Dunes
The St. Anthony Sand Dunes are a mesmerizing expanse of rolling sand hills situated in the southeastern part of the state. Covering over 10,000 acres, these pristine dunes offer an otherworldly landscape for thrill-seekers and nature enthusiasts alike. Visitors can explore the area on foot, by off-road vehicle, or even try sandboarding for an adrenaline-packed adventure. For more information, check out our blog on the St. Anthony Sand Dunes.
Shoshone Falls
For those yearning to witness the power of nature in its rawest form, Shoshone Falls is a spectacle that should not be missed. Often referred to as the “Niagara of the West,” Shoshone Falls is one of the largest natural waterfalls in the United States. Located on the Snake River near Twin Falls, the falls plunge an impressive 212 feet—higher than Niagara Falls. Bring your camera; Shoshone Falls is the perfect spot for breathtaking photo opportunities.
Craters of the Moon
You’ll wonder if you’re in Idaho or an otherworldly setting when you visit Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. This unique and surreal landscape was created by volcanic eruptions long ago, with lava flows dating back 15,000 to 2,000 years. Walk along one of the largest lava fields in the U.S., admiring the cinder cones and sagebrush that mark this terrain, and explore the alluring lava caves. This is the closest you’ll get to experiencing the terrain of the moon on Earth.
