hot spring

As summer vacation comes to a close, all hope is not lost. You can still fit in a nice weekend vacation before the school chaos begins.

The videos of geothermal tourons aren’t as titillating, so don’t get the same notoriety. Let’s shed light on this particular elusive type of stupid tourist.

What would you do? What would you do if you needed to escape your family, work, or friends for a day and relax in the Magic Valley?

On Saturday, a portion of the roof at a historic Southern Idaho hot spring resort collapsed sending 7 people to the hospital.

The popular hot springs made the announcement on their Facebook page and on their website.

On Tuesday, a park employee found the human foot floating in the Abyss Pool in the West Thumb Geyser Basin in the Southern part of the National Park.

There are plenty of options and luckily there are sites that can help us figure out where to go and what to do this summer.

When it comes to romance, I'm no Al Bundy (or Ted for that matter), but I can certainly identify and admire natural landmarks that offer an ideal setting best suited for those who share an intimate bond.

If you think about the cost to get in, and multiply that by the amount of people that visit on an average weekend, Nat Soo Pah is about the closest thing Twin Falls has to an active gold mine.

Without revealing its location, have you ever seen this landmark? I haven't, but then again, I've only explored about 30% of the state.

For those that enjoy getting outdoors and seeking out unique Idaho getaway opportunities, there is a natural hot spring located 140 miles north of Twin Falls that gives its visitors a view unlike any other.

Lucky for you this is Idaho and the adventures and learning opportunities are basically endless. This list will save your brain this summer so print it off and paste it to the fridge in your house.

Most of us have lived in Idaho long enough to know that today you may be wearing shorts and tomorrow you'll be wearing gloves and shoveling snow.
