Everybody loves a hunt for a hidden waterfall! Lucky for us, Idaho is
loaded with little-known falls just waiting to be uncovered. All you
have to do is go out and search for them. Better yet, we found a
magnificent hidden waterfall for you to check out and you’ll definitely
want to plan a trip to see it. A short and easy hiking trail leads you
straight to the falls, complete with bridges, creeks, and an abundance
of natural beauty. This is an outing that you’re sure to remember.
Kootenai Wildlife Refuge is one
of Idaho's best kept secrets. Located near Bonners Ferry, the refuge is a
magnificent spot loaded with beautiful scenery and an abundance of
wildlife. It's also here that you'll find the elusive but incredible
Myrtle Falls.
Myrtle Falls is the only
waterfall that can be viewed from one of the refuge's hiking trails. A
brief, quarter-mile hiking trail leads you along Myrtle Creek to the
perfect vantage point of this impressive waterfall.
The trail is well-marked and
easy to follow so you shouldn't have any trouble finding it. The Myrtle
Falls Trailhead can be found just opposite from the Refuge Office on the
Auto Trail Road. The trail is ADA-accessible up to the point of where
you'll reach an awesome little footbridge that crosses the creek.
Here you can stop for a moment
and just take in the beautiful sights. Forestry surrounds you from all
sides and there's nothing but the sound of the creek below to disturb
you. The Refuge is just that—an escape from the chaos of civilization.
The trail becomes primitive past
the bridge but it's still very manageable. A small fence lines the
trail, telling you where to go. There are some steep sections throughout
the trail but it isn't long before you reach the overlook for the
waterfall.
The observation point is the
perfect place to view Myrtle Falls. The waterfall is almost hidden by
towering pine trees but there's no denying just how incredible the falls
are. At approximately 100 feet high, the falls are definitely notable.
The waterfall is especially
impressive when the run-off is high and the cascades of water are
spectacularly abundant. Myrtle Falls definitely proves itself to be a
hidden waterfall that is well-worth going out of your way for.

plan an adventure to Myrtle Falls? Check out the short but sweet video
below so you can really get an idea of how magical this waterfall hike
really is!

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...
