Not a lot is known about this state and great deal it is wrong. It has a number environments that all different and allow lot of various kinds of life to exists. On the eastern side is part of the Rocky Mountains. This side of the state on volcanic debris. Here the Snake Begains in Yellowstone National Park and supply water for the southern portion Idaho. The early explorers called the Snake a its look peaceful but full treacherous under currents and the course of the river has twists and turns along it course. It flows through the southern part of the state forming the border between Oregon and Idaho known as Hell’s Canyon.

Betty Louise, thank you for this post. I truly enjoyed it. I didn’t know much about Idaho. You made me want to visit. The photos are beautiful as well. I particularly liked the ones of your grandparents.
I am annoy when author send someone to Idaho as she doesn’t know much about the state. With the right wing of politics making their home in northern Idaho, the state gets a lot of negative news. Much of the middle part is still wilderness area.
Beautiful scenery, and I loved the picture of the Bluebird.
I want to add more pictures but the Kindle was cooperating. I will do a couple later one on animals and another plants. Thanks
Love the pictures and variety in them! 🙂 Also the historical ones
