    Where is Idaho?

    Idaho is a Northwestern state surrounded by Utah, Washington, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana and Oregon.

    Over 70 different precious gem stones can be found in Idaho.

    Idaho produces almost one third of America’s potatoes!

    It is known as the lentil capital of the world.

    Hells Canyon is deeper than the Grand Canyon and has views over the state. Above the canyon from Heavens Gate Lookout you can see Montana, and Oregon.

    The Idaho Champion Western Red Cedar Tree in Elk River is over 3000 years old!
