There is nothing better than living in Idaho. The beautiful scenery, family-friendly cities, and countless recreational opportunities make the Gem State the perfect place to live. As Idahoans, we are not only proud of our great state, but we will defend it, especially against those who want to pick a fight. Here are just seven controversial hills that most Idahoans are willing to die on.
- Idaho is full!
We know that Idaho is a wonderful place to live and we want to keep it that way. We enjoy little traffic, small-town life, and lower costs of living. Don’t tell your friends and family about how wonderful the Gem State is — let’s keep it our little secret!
2. We have the best lakes — hands down.
With more than 2,000 named lakes and hundreds unnamed, the Gem State has plenty of options for a day on the water. Boating, fishing, kayaking, hiking — there really are countless activities when it comes to Idaho’s lakes.
3. Every way is the right way to eat a potato.
French fries? Baked? Mashed? Yes! Yes! Yes! We love our potatoes, and we will eat them in any way possible. There is not one single way to eat a potato that is better than another.
4. Yes, we are part of Yellowstone National Park — don’t tell us we aren’t.
Only one percent of Yellowstone National Park is located in Idaho, but we still love to claim it. As the first national park and home to the most geysers in the world, we love this park and are proud to be a part of it.
5. Our small towns are the best getaway locations.
We love our cities in Idaho, but there is something absolutely magical about our small towns. These getaway destinations dot the state and are where you can find some of the best hidden gems.
6. It’s not that hard to drive in the snow.
Winters in Idaho can seem to last forever, especially in our mountain towns. But, this doesn’t mean that you need to stay cooped up inside for the majority of the year. Rather, take some time to learn how to drive in the snow and explore our great state — it really isn’t that hard.
7. The perfect day of relaxation? In a hot spring.
While there is something special about a day at the spa, here in Idaho, we love a day at the hot springs. The Gem State is home to 130 soakable hot springs and while some are easily accessible, others require a bit more of a trek to enjoy. However, it doesn’t matter how you get there, you can be assured that it will be a day of rejuvenation.
