As we all saw during The Great American Eclipse that
took place in August 2017, Idaho is a fantastic place to view some
extraordinary natural events. In fact, there’s another rare event coming
up and you’ll want to be sure you don’t miss it. A lunar eclipse is
expected to take place later this month, but don’t be fooled. This isn’t
your typical lunar eclipse. Lucky for, Idaho is home to some of the
darkest skies which are perfect for viewing a natural phenomenon like
this one. Keep reading for all the details!
Mark your calendars for January
20-21. On this particular night, a trifecta of lunar activities will
take place and you definitely don't want to miss it. Idahoans will be in
for a real treat when they look up at the sky and see what is being
called a "Super Blood Wolf Moon".
So, what exactly is a Super
Blood Wolf Moon? It sounds pretty cool, that's for sure! In fact, it's
the combination of a total lunar eclipse, a super blood moon, and a wolf
moon. The result is a unique phenomenon that resembles something from a
Sci-Fi movie.
This is bound to be a sight that
you don't forget any time soon. The stars will be much more visible
since the moon will have less than 100th of its usual brightness. The
moon itself will appear a reddish copper color. It promises to be a
breathtaking scene as long as the weather cooperates.
Scientists predict that the next
lunar eclipse won't occur until 2021, so you'll want to catch this one
if you can. The eclipse can be viewed from all of North America, South
America, and parts of Western Europe and Africa. Additionally, Idaho's
dark skies make it the perfect viewing place for such a phenomenon.
You don't have to travel to
anywhere fancy to see it. Although, staying away from any sort of street
light, and blue light especially, is considered the best practice for
eclipse viewing.
The lunar eclipse will take
place from around 7:36 pm on Sunday, January 20, until 12:48 a.m. on
Monday, January 21. This means that even those who like to hit the hay
early will have a chance to see this magnificent event.
Remember when you were a kid and you were told that it wasn’t nice to stereotype people? So why would you stereotype a state? There are more than a few outrageous rumors floating around about Idaho and the people who live here. We collected nine of the most famous ones so that they can finally be put to rest. These stereotypes are just that—stereotypes. By no means do they reflect our entire state, so maybe think twice when you catch yourself giving into one! 1. All Idahoans are either potato farmers... Indeed, potatoes are one of our state's most important crops when it comes to the agricultural industry. In fact, more than 320,000 acres of land are used to grow potatoes every year. But no, we don't ALL work on potato farms. That would just be ridiculous. 2. ...or rednecks. Sure, Idaho is a red state but that doesn't make everyone who lives here a redneck. You MIGHT come across some Bud Light lovin...
With nearly 130 soakable hot springs (the most soakable hot springs of any state in the country), there are dozens of destinations to visit. However, places like Lava Hot Springs , Goldbug Hot Springs , and Kirkham Hot Springs can draw in quite a crowd. That’s why I love Skillern Hot Springs. This is a lesser-known, almost top-secret spring that is worth visiting. However, you’ll want to put on your hiking shoes because it’s not an easy journey to get here. Skillern Hot Springs is tucked away in the Sawtooth National Forest. Some of the towns closest to this unique destination include Fairfield to the south and Ketchum to the east. You’ll find the trailhead and parking area for this natural spring at Canyon Transfer Camp. To visit this natural spring, plan a full-day adventure. Grab your hiking boots , swimsuit, and lots of water because you’ll have a six-mile journey ahead of you. The main trail splits into upper and lower trails. During the late...
