Among the most rugged and remote in the United States, Idaho's wild lands attract tourists who "want to get away from it all." Thrill-seekers come to raft roaring rivers, hike rocky trails, and fish icy streams in the Salmon, Sawtooth, and Bitterroot ranges. Winter sports are popular, too, such as skiing at one of the country's biggest resorts -- Sun Valley. For those who would rather "see" than "do," visit Crators of the Moon National Park, Hell's Canyon, Soda Springs, Shoshone Falls, and the Crystal Ice Cave to explore some of nature's most interesting creations.
