Hiking

I reached out to Park Manager Bryce Bealba and was granted permission to share photos of the new facility addition, which are compliments of area photographer Doug Stoneback.

Here are some reasons why the mountains of Idaho are the worst and the problems with them that nobody wants to admit.

If I told you that just a few miles southwest of Boise, Idaho, there's a roadway surrounded by towering spires of rock that cuts through the desert landscape and leads to an incredibly beautiful oasis, would you believe me? How about you go see for yourself?

It explains the rock stackers are also doing it all wrong.

For everyone that moves here from out of state, it takes some time to get familiar with the culture, and slowly over time you begin to adjust.

Eagle's Nest Hot Spring is not only perched approximately 60 feet above the river, but also has warm water run-off that has created a separate waterfall directly beneath the natural, heated pool.

It's been a spell since I've traveled through this part of Idaho that offers Bruneau Dunes State Park a short drive to the east, and the Oregon border less than an hour west.

Be cautious as a certain animal seems to be heavily populated and unafraid of people.

There are so many hidden beauties in the state of Idaho. There are hidden hot springs, lakes, and tons of hidden camping areas.

While it is best to stay away from these animals, sometimes there is reason to keep your phone or camera at the ready if you do happen to cross their paths.

The Minnetonka Cave is about 4 hours from Twin Falls and you can tell just by looking at photos it is worth the drive.

When out hiking this summer, sometimes unwanted occurrences can occur and your fun relaxing hike, suddenly can turn into a scary and life-threatening moment.

A few months back I wrote that it was overrated. I have recently revisited and would like to update my stance on the infamous rock.

Whichever way you decide to go is your decision, but for those that are looking for a fun, good time, which states are the best to head to?

Nicer weather makes getting out a little easier and more encouraging. For those wanting to get out of the house, here are some events and ideas for this weekend.

May is the ideal month for sandboarding and hiking the dunes, as the temperatures tend to remain on the cooler side making the sand perfect for these types of activities.

Encounters with mountain lions are becoming far more common.

To most, Idaho is a cheaper state than where they are coming from, and that is what appeals most to them, but maybe Idaho isn't the right state for them to live in.

Make sure to mark your calendars and make plans in advance, to get to as much as you can. Here are some of the events taking place this weekend in the area.

This last week, a man went hiking with his friend in Montana. He was found later, in what is expected to have been a grizzly bear attack.
