Less well-known than Upper Mesa Falls, the lower falls are spectacular in their own right.

Another Idaho State Park has joined the world of social networking. Check out (and like) the Hells Gate State Park page.

Hells Gate State ParkHells Gate State Park is the gateway to both Idaho's Lewis and Clark country and to Hells Canyon, the deepest river gorge in North America. Shady campsites along the Snake River make comfortable base-camps for exploration of the surrounding area. Jet boat excursions into Hells Canyon leave on a regular basis from the park's docks. The Nez Perce National Historic Park is only 30 minutes away. A wide choice of restaurants and shopping are just minutes away, in nearby Lewiston Idaho. |

If you haven't tried the deluxe cabins at Ponderosa State Park in the winter, you owe to yourself--and your friends--to check them out. Bring your cross-country skis.

Nice story in today's Statesman about visiting some of the spectacular sites along the Snake River. Don't miss Bruneau Dunes, Malad Gorge and Three Island Crossing state parks.

Hey, think about all those great pictures you have of your family having fun in an Idaho state park. Now, think how terrific they'd look in an advertising campaign designed to get people to visit their parks. Let's see what you've got! Post your pictures here when you get a few minutes over the next couple of weeks. If we decide to use something you post, we'll get your permission first, of course. And what can we offer you in exchange for the great snap? Maybe some local fame, good feelings during the holidays, our eternal gratitude?? Certainly you'll have that warm feeling that comes from supporting Idaho's state parks. Thanks!

Disc Golf - ID
This fun sport is increasing in popularity, and several parks are installing courses this year. To play, use a Frisbee or special disc and try to throw it into a mounted basket several hundred yards away. Like golf, the fewer strokes (throws) the better. Check out the courses at Farragut, Eagle Island, Lake Walcott, and Massacre Rocks.0 likes, 0 dislikes

Take a trip back in time in south Idaho - ID
Idaho is not only a place for adventure, but it's a state full of rich mining history that is still visible today. This road trip will give you a glimpse of what the area was like during the mining boom and it will provide plenty of opportunity to explore outdoors and relax with the whole family. DAY ONE: Eastern Idaho's Land of the Yankee Fork State Park is a great park to visit to learn about Idaho's frontier mining history. The Interpretive Center offers exhibits, a gold panning station, audiovisual programs, children's programs and friendly personnel to provide information on local mining history. Don't forget to take a tour of Bayhorse, one of Idaho's famous ghost towns and OHV trailheads. More information is available at the visitor center. DAY TWO: Massacre Rocks State Park: About 3.5 hours south by car (take US 93 south to US 26 to I-86W), Massacre Rocks State Park is also full of history and beauty. Trail emigrants referred to the area as "Devil's Gate" for its ruggedness, but today travelers use terms like beautiful, serene, and restful to describe the park. The park is rich in Oregon Trail, geological, and natural histories. Pioneers used this area, specifically what is now referred to as Register Rock, as a travelers rest. Today, it makes a great picnic stop. BONUS TIPS: Take a tour around the ghost towns of Bayhorse, Bonanza and Custer, the Custer Motorway or the Challis Bison Kill Site. This area is well-known for OHV opportunities, hiking, fishing, hunting, whitewater rafting on the world-famous Salmon River or backpacking in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area. In winter, Stanley offers snowmobiling.0 likes, 0 dislikes
