To residents of the state and regular visitors, Idaho
is regarded as a highly outdoors-oriented community. Central Idaho is home
to one of North America's oldest ski resorts, Sun Valley, where the world's
first chairlift was installed. Snow sports are important keystones of
Idaho's identity, with a ski resort near almost every urban area. Whitewater
rafting and kayaking are among the state's major pastimes. Hell's Canyon and
the Salmon River boast some of North America's finest whitewater, with the
nearby town of Riggins, ID serving as the state's informal whitewater
capital.
Climate in Idaho can be hot, although extended periods over 100 °F (38 °C) for the maximum temperature are rare, except for the lowest point in elevation, Lewiston, which correspondingly sees very little snow. Hot summer days are tempered by the low relative humidity and cooler evenings during summer months since, for most of the state, the highest diurnal difference in temperature is often in the summer. Winters can be cold, although extended periods of bitter cold weather below zero are unusual. This is what led the railroad tycoon Harriman family to develop the most famous ski resort, Sun Valley.
From world-class resorts to undiscovered municipal gems, Idaho has golf courses that will both challenge and delight. Take the Idaho Golf Trail – a golf vacation package that combines eight of Idaho’s best courses with resort style accommodations. Or, if you prefer, blaze a trail of your own.
