About Idaho
The story of Gem State
Idaho is 80% mountain, forest, and wilderness — the Sawtooth Range, Hells Canyon (deepest gorge in North America), and the Snake River plain.
The Nez Perce were the original inhabitants, Lewis and Clark passed through in 1805, and Sun Valley became America's first destination ski resort in 1936.
Small-town, self-reliant, mountain-outdoors — Idaho values quiet, wide-open country and the freedom that comes with it.
Food. Idaho potatoes obviously — but also finger steaks, huckleberry everything, and a craft beer boom in Boise.
Sports. Boise State's blue turf is one of college football's most iconic sights, and skiing at Sun Valley draws Olympians every winter.
Outdoors. Ski Sun Valley, whitewater raft the Salmon River, hike the Sawtooths, or fly-fish the Henry's Fork.
Economy. Agriculture (potatoes, dairy), technology (Micron in Boise), timber, and tourism keep Idaho growing fast.
Landmarks. Visitors flock to Sawtooth Mountains, Shoshone Falls, Craters of the Moon, Sun Valley, Coeur d'Alene Lake.
Fun fact. Idaho grows about one-third of all potatoes in the United States.

Whether you were born here, went to school here, or fell in love with Idaho on a road trip, wearing a piece of it keeps that connection alive. Ski Sun Valley, whitewater raft the Salmon River, hike the Sawtooths, or fly-fish the Henry's Fork.
