At Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, visitors can experience the same landscapes that the Apollo 14 astronauts used to train for their moon landing. This landscape features one of the largest lava fields in the world; from a distance, the entire landscape appears black and desolate. The park also features the deepest rift crack in the world, a hole in the Earth that drops more than 800 feet.

For a more lush experience, visitors can take a trip to Sun Valley. During the summer, this pocket of natural beauty offers hiking, mountain biking and fly fishing. In the winter, visitors will enjoy skiing, snowshoeing and tubing; those with a healthy disregard for their own safety can also try their hands at helicopter skiing. At Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, visitors can take advantage of the natural landscape to enjoy whitewater rafting and fishing. The Snake River cuts through this deep canyon, giving visitors the perfect backdrop for hiking, rafting, fishing, camping and more.

Silverwood Theme Park, located in the northern tip of Idaho's panhandle, is the Pacific Northwest's largest amusement park. Featuring more than 65 rides and a fully functional water park, Silverwood makes for a tempting destination. Visitors looking for a less visceral experience may enjoy the Idaho Museum of Natural History. This museum, which houses more than 500,000 individual artifacts in its collections, is especially proud of its Ice Age megafauna exhibit.

For a more relaxing attraction, visitors can take advantage of Lava Hot Springs. This resort sits on top of several natural geothermal springs; their pools stay at a comfortably warm temperature throughout the year, naturally heated by the Earth.
