See Park Video Ten years ago when we last visited the Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument, the Visitors Center was housed in a temporary building that it shared with another monument. Today we thought we had the opportunity to visit their new location in downtown...
There are places in Idaho where it seems water just gushes out of every crevice. This morning we drove the Thousand Springs Scenic Byway stopping to capture the glory while dealing with private lands and light coming from the wrong direction. We have a choice whether...
Oh! What a wonderfully relaxing experience! We’ve just enjoyed an hour and a half soak in some incredible mineral hot springs. It’s been about six weeks since we’ve had the opportunity to use our own hot tub so we felt really ready for the experience. We visited...
