Idaho Adventure 2013
Old Idaho
Penitentiary
Craters of
the Moon National Monument
“A Violent Past, Calm
Present, and Uncertain Future...
Craters of the Moon is a
vast ocean of lava flows with scattered islands of cinder cones and sagebrush.
We invite you to explore this "weird and scenic landscape" where
yesterday's volcanic events are likely to continue tomorrow...”
Yellowstone
Bear World
City of
Rocks National Reserve
“Discover the "Silent
City" of Rocks!
Emigrant diaries describe
the rocks here in vivid detail as “a city of tall spires,” “steeple rocks”,
"the silent city" and a display of “all manner of fantastic
shapes.”
These amazing rock
formations continue to be shaped by weathering. Visitors to the Reserve see
animals, faces, or buildings in the rocks. What you see is limited only by your
imagination.“
We decided to visit the
Idaho area for a week of adventure. It
sure is a beautiful area. Included are
shots from all over the state plus images from Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. We had a blast! One week and 1,800 miles...

“Mountains of the
Imagination
Rising above a scene rich
with extraordinary wildlife, pristine lakes, and alpine terrain, the Teton
Range stands monument to the people who fought to protect it. These are
mountains of the imagination. Mountains that led to the creation of Grand Teton
National Park where you can explore over two hundred miles of trails, float the
Snake River or enjoy the serenity of this remarkable place.”

Yellowstone
National Park
“World's Largest
Collection of Geysers.
It's wonderland. Old
Faithful and the majority of the world's geysers are preserved here. They are
the main reason the park was established in 1872 as America's first national
park—an idea that spread worldwide. A mountain wildland, home to grizzly bears,
wolves, and herds of bison and elk, the park is the core of one of the last,
nearly intact, natural ecosystems in the Earth’s temperate zone.”
