There are some towns you want to visit over and over
again. These towns not only offer incredible views and a long list of
things to do but everywhere you go, people are kind and friendly. That’s
exactly how you would describe the town of Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Not
only is this town the perfect place to get away, but it is also one of
the friendliest towns in Idaho.
Bonners Ferry is located at the
top of the panhandle in Boundary County. This isn’t a large town as it
has a population of approximately 2,600 residents.
This small town is established
right on the banks of the Kootenai River. In the 1800s, this area became
a popular river crossing for prospectors who were heading into Canada
to search for gold.

pedestrian-friendly streets make exploring this small town simple and
enjoyable.

to visit the Boundary County Museum. This museum is located downtown
and is where you can find artifacts, exhibits, and information about
this area and the Kootenai people.

The stunning Kootenai Wildlife Refuge is nearby and is home to hundreds of bird species and all types of wildlife.

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...
