East Idaho at a Glance
Neighboring Yellowstone
National Park and Grand
Teton National Park, East Idaho's countryside is blessed with similar beauty,
but without the inconvenience of large crowds. Impressive waterfalls, a rich variety
of wildlife and scenic parks are characteristic of the region. The lush forests
and meadows of Harriman
State Park are home to a 16,000-acre (6475-ha) wildlife refuge graced by rare
trumpeter swans, abundant waterfowl, elk, deer and other wildlife. Henry's
Fork Greenway of the Snake River, a world famous destination for fly fishing,
flows through Harriman Park's meadows. The area's core, Idaho
Falls, has plenty of sights and attractions awaiting the adventurous traveler,
including the Caribou-Targhee
National Forest and the Museum
of Idaho. Whether fishing, hiking, bird watching, boating, jogging along the
Greenbelt or just taking in the view, Eastern Idaho is a paradise for the outdoor
enthusiast, ideal for recreation and relaxation.
