Dozens of ATV trails here all withing 1-2 hours. This one was taken 12 miles from my home in Midvale. The peak tucked into the clouds is a fire lookout @ 7577 Feet   :banana:

Nice. :)

We get wine shipped to us every other month from an Idaho winery.  My wife went there years ago and liked it, and it's been well received over the last few years.

Its called "Rocky Mountain High" for a reason. Man I love being up in those mountains hunting. Or simply camping and breathing the air.

Glad you all liked them. Come on up & visit. Not too crowded up here...another reason I love it is low population...you can stretch out a bit without bumping into anyone. I have had several occasions Mon-Thru-Friday where were never saw another camper, ATV'er, or even another vehicle on the mountain roads. I'm off work Sun-Mon-Tues, now so when we're going up most folks are comin' home.  :rock  :D

I have always enjoyed my trips to the woods (hiking) and rivers (rivers) of Idaho.  Definetley a must-see on the list if you're of the type to enjoy vacationing without a TV or internet connection.

As a Wyoming transplant to Flordia, I miss home.

I love the ocean and beaches, but I miss mountains and wide open spaces much more than I thought I would.

I can also attest to Idaho's awesomeness. Flew into a back country strip there and then hiked, swam, and fished until I dropped.  :aok
