Idaho is home to numerous natural wonders. While many of these are quite well-known, like Shoshone Falls and Balanced Rock,
there are others that are tucked away and lesser known. Devil’s
Washbowl is one of the lesser-known natural wonders in Idaho that is
absolutely spectacular. Found in Malad Gorge State Park, this incredible
waterfall is one natural wonder that you’ll want to view at least once.
Thousand Springs State Park is
one of the most unique and beautiful state parks in Idaho. It consists
of six smaller units, one of which is Malad Gorge State Park.
In this 451-acre state park,
you’ll capture incredible views of the 250-foot Malad Gorge. The Snake
River winds through the gorge, creating a mesmerizing view.
However, what many people don’t
know is that Malad Gorge is home to one of the most beautiful natural
wonders in Idaho - the Devil’s Washbowl.
This is a 60-foot waterfall tucked away in the gorge. It is where the Malad River falls into a large pool.
While this waterfall is
beautiful all year long, spring is the best time for viewing it as water
roars out of the gorge, creating quite a remarkable sight.
To best view this incredible
wonder, there is a 175-foot bridge that takes you over the Malad Gorge.
From one side, you can see the waterfall, and on the other, you can
capture incredible views of Malad Gorge.
Even better, you don’t have to go
out of your way to stop at this state park and view the Devil’s
Washbowl. This state park is actually located right along (and under!)
I-84 on your way to Twin Falls. In fact, the bridge is so close to the
freeway that you may need to crop unwanted vehicles out of your images.
After you have captured
remarkable views of the Devil’s Washbowl, spend some time hiking and
picnicking at this state park. Malad Gorge State Park may not be large,
but it certainly has gems worth discovering.
Have you spent time at Malad Gorge State Park? Have you viewed the
Devil’s Washbowl? We’d love to hear about your experiences in the
comments. You can learn even more about this state park on the Idaho Parks and Recreation website.
If you have never explored Thousand Springs State Park, add this
Idaho destination to your bucket list. This is truly one of the best and
most beautiful state parks in Idaho.

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...
