Idaho Overview

We all love mash potatoes. Guess what that’s not all Idaho is known for! Idaho is a big state located in the Pacific Northwest, the climate here is greatly influenced by the Pacific Ocean even though the ocean is 300 miles away. So you will see plenty of snow, which attracts over 20 million tourists each year. This is the perfect weather for skiing and snowboarding. With a population of over 1 million, Idaho is both cosmopolitan and small-town friendly. You will get the best of both worlds. Its capital city, Boise, is known for a generous offering of city life plus there is a great deal of agriculture around the state.

From casinos to camping, horseback riding to hiking, there is much to do here and a lot of it is outdoors! It was once said that “if you flattened out Idaho, the state would be as large as Texas!” Idaho is like a big playground with sightings of wildlife such as moose, caribous and bears along the way! You can even pan for Gold in one of the National Parks. Visit Motel.com to book your hotel or motel in the state of Idaho.
