Five ways to rock Idaho for the holiday season
Nov 3rd, 2009 at 9:30AM: Coeur d'Alene, Idaho may not be the first destination that comes to mind for holiday travel. I mean ... who jumps to Idaho?! Well, this is a problem that needs to be remedied. If you're looking to take off for a few days between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, there's a lot happening in Coeur d'Alene.
1. Holiday Light Show: More than 1.5 million lights are hung along the Coeur d'Alene waterfront ...Abercrombie & Kent vacation clubs: try before you buy
Oct 13th, 2009 at 8:00AM: Let the tough timeshare and vacation club market work to your advantage this year. Upscale travel firm Abercrombie & Kent's Residence Club is offering two-year trial memberships starting at $18,700 a year for 15 nights – that's a tad under $1,250 a night. The residences tend to be around 4,000 square feet and have four bedrooms. A&K suggests that you can "even travel with the ...Wine, Dine and Raft Your Way Along Idaho's Snake River
Aug 31st, 2009 at 12:30PM: What better way to spend an adventure-filled whitewater rafting trip along Idaho's Hell's Canyon (the deepest gorge in North America) than to experience it while sampling an array of Oregon Pinot Noir's and delicious cuisine whipped up on-site by a renown executive chef? O.A.R.S. (Outdoor Adventure River Specialists) is offering a five day "wine on the river" adventure trip starting September ...Bruce Willis eyeing his own "Die Hard International airport"?
Jul 12th, 2009 at 2:00PM: Did you know that Bruce Willis owns his own ski resort in Idaho? I didn't, so when I read that he's planning to build his own airport to serve his Soldier Mountain ski resort I read with great interest. Normally, the news of a new airport would be fantastic for the area, but they already have an airport, Friedman Memorial Airport, so things are starting to heat up. Mr Willis has apparently been ...Adventure Sports Week begins in Idaho
Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:30AM: Coeur d'Alene, Idaho plays host to Adventure Sports Week 2009 , which got underway this past weekend in beautiful Farragut State Park, located just outside the mountain community. Hundreds of endurance athletes descended on the region to take part in the first time event, which is already becoming one of the premiere outdoor sporting competitions of the year. Billed as "10 days, 24 races, 1 big ...Visit Yellowstone Offseason
Apr 23rd, 2009 at 8:00AM: Yellowstone National Park is one of the most popular destinations in the U.S., welcoming nearly 3 million visitors per year. Most of those come during the summer months, when the weather is consistently beautiful, and the travel season is in full swing. But this article suggests that we should go now, to beat the crowds, and enjoy springtime in the Northern Rockies, where no matter what time of ...Jackson Hole Airport to undergo runway work
Apr 13th, 2009 at 12:00PM: Jackson Hole Airport is likely to close for around four days next month because of runway work. The closure is scheduled to begin at 5 PM on May 25, 2009 (Memorial Day), with the four-day estimate coming from the contractors hired by the airport. If the hired help can get the work done according to schedule – and when was the last time that happened? – the airport could reopen as early ...Idaho State Parks Plug In
Aug 4th, 2008 at 11:30AM: Idaho State Parks are seeking to redefine camping. The places where Ernest Hemingway used to pitch his tent and cast his fly rod is going wireless. At least, some of them are. Park officials are looking closely at an experimental program that currently connects five state parks to the internet. The parks in question are Bruneau Dunes, Harriman, Henrys Lake and Ponderosa. So far feedback has been ...Wolves: Oscar winning material and no longer endangered
Feb 27th, 2008 at 2:00PM: At the end of this year's Oscar winner for Short Film--Animated, "Peter and the Wolf," the wolf goes free even after he made Peter not too happy. (Sorry if that ruins it for anyone.) The tolerance for the wolf is one that has been hard won.
Tolerance hasn't been totally won, although, through the Endangered Species Act, government regulations have helped the gray wolf population grow in the ...Cleaning museum to open in Pocatello, Idaho
Dec 19th, 2007 at 4:30PM: If you're looking for the ideal family vacation destination -- one that's fun for every age, and maybe a bit educational as well -- you have something to look forward to. Don Aslett's Cleaning Museum is scheduled to open in fall 2008 in the small southeastern Idaho town Pocatello. Don Aslett started a international janitorial company, and is as big a cleaning fan as you can find. In fact, in ...Photo of the Day (10/3/07)
Oct 3rd, 2007 at 11:30AM:
There's a part of me that hates when summer is over until I think about the fall days up ahead that will look like this one. Not quite like this one--this is on the Snake River in the Grand Teton National Park, a far piece from Ohio. I love the soft dreamy quality of the reflections in the water contrasted with the brittle look of the foliage. The kayakers are the transition between the two. ...Old Idaho Penitentiary
Nov 3rd, 2006 at 3:28PM: My big day in Boise went out with a bang as I ended up behind bars at the Old Idaho Penitentiary. This was another attraction that appeared in my Google searches and ranked pretty high on the list of things to do. Prior to my trip to the Old Idaho Pen, I'd never been to jail with the exception of a never-ending game of Monopoly. The minute me and my pal walked into the old cells which haven't ...Idaho's Black History Museum
Nov 3rd, 2006 at 1:36PM: As you may have noticed by now most of my travel over the last few weeks has been throughout the Mid-West and in the Mid-West you tend to find nothing, but museums built around the history of the Mid-West. Makes good sense right? Well after so many stops at these places the history all starts to sound the same and another buffalo or Indian tale begins to become a little on the played out side. For ...Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial
Nov 3rd, 2006 at 11:31AM: When I did a search for Boise attractions I was totally caught off guard to see this Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial pop up. I wondered what connection the young Jewish girl who seemed to have became the voice of human hope through her diary kept during the Holocaust had with the state? While there is no direct connection the reality is a site like this one should be placed on every corner ...
