I will just say that we were astonished at the amount of water that was coming right out of the side of the canyon wall. We've posted about other places in the Thousand Springs State Park (Malad Gorge, Thousand Springs Scenic Byway), and this is the last one that we visited. And it was amazing. ...

Malad Gorge State Park
Malad Gorge is part of the 1000 Springs State Park in Idaho. This State Park has five different units in different areas, all related to a porous rock formation that allows water to be carried underground, often exiting from the rock formation high up on canyon walls. One area that shows that ...
Massacre Rocks State Park and Register Rock
Among the State Parks we visited in Idaho was Massacre Rocks State Park. This State Park is located right along I-86 and has a number of interesting features. The park sits right next to the Snake River, has miles of hiking trails, a campground, a world class disc golf course, fishing, a swimming ...
Massacre Rocks State Park
As we traveled through Idaho, we took some time to visit some of the Idaho State Parks. Massacre Rocks State Park and the accompanying Register Rock is right along I-86, ten miles west of American Falls. While it was plenty hot the day that we visited (late July 2013), in cooler times it would ...

She loves to visit places of history that she's read about, and "The Big Burn" tells all about the huge wildfires of 1910 where wildfires popped up all around the west, including the area around ...
A Driving Day Through Montana : Northwest Trip Day 1
The first leg of our trip is to take us to northern Washington to visit family for a couple of days. We didn't plan on doing or seeing much on the way up except one stop in Wallace, Idaho. So our first day was mainly a driving day. We had a couple of choices for getting to northern Washington, ...
Our 2014 Trip Around The Northwest
Sue and I have never spent much time in the Northwest. We've visited a couple of times to see family in northern Washington, but that was about it. And it was time. We've heard a lot about the beautiful places to go see and finally decided that we needed to spend some time exploring Washington ...
Thousand Springs Scenic Byway – Idaho
A couple of years ago, Sue and I took a trip to Idaho, one of those trips where we really didn't figure out ahead of time where we were going to go. We just kind of took it as it came and decided on the fly what to go see. We ended up in Twin Falls at one point and decided to head over to Hagerman ...
