Bruneau Sand Dunes - 15 mi south of Mountain Home, ID

The tallest single structure sand dune in North America! Only go in spring and fall. The sand gets way too hot in the summertime. You can camp and hang out all day!

The best times to go to the dunes are spring and fall. In the summer, the sand is just WAY too hot on your feet. Such a fun outing and still close to Boise. ...

Camping - Stanley, Idaho

Load up the car and the kids and spend a weekend unplugged. Throw rocks in the water, get really dirty, star gaze, make loads of s’mores and even more memories. We plan to camp this year even more than we did last summer.

Redfish Lake - Stanley, Idaho

At the base of the Sawtooth Mountains, this awesome lake has the best views. There are a lot of people that go up there, especially on weekends. There are a few other lakes around there that aren’t as busy, but it’s definitely worth a trip.

Shoshone Falls - Twin Falls, Idaho

Shoshone Falls is one of the largest waterfalls in the United States. It’s even taller than Niagara! It’s amazing to see all the water flowing over the rocks constantly! I could stare at waterfalls all day!
