Wildlife

Idaho is a haven for a wide range of wildlife, with many reserves to visit. The diverse landscape provides many opportunities to view animals and birds in their natural habitat, as well. A participant in the national Watchable Wildlife Program, Idaho has established specific areas along state highways, with signs featuring binoculars, that point to designated wildlife viewing areas. In addition, several outfitters offer guided wildlife viewing trips.

See Idaho from a new perspective - from the basket of a hot air balloon. Gently floating in a hot air balloon is like no other flight experience, providing a bird's eye view of the landscape drifting beneath you that cannot be seen from a plane. It represents an adventure of a lifetime.

For those seeking a real thrill, several companies in Idaho provide balloon rides plus there are several balloon rallies across the state during the summer months.
