A Visitor's Guide to Exploring Idaho’s Wilderness

Booking a vacation to Idaho? Whether you’re visiting from afar or from a neighboring state, many tourists flock to Idaho for its vast wilderness and stunning seasonal experiences, including guided whitewater rafting trips and snowmobile tours! If you need an insider’s look, here’s a quick peek at two must-try experiences the next time you’re here. 

Get in the Water: Multi-Day Guided Whitewater Rafting Tours

Nothing quite matches the awe-inspiring beauty and excitement of whitewater rafting on Idaho’s legendary rivers. Whether you’re seeking thrilling rapids or relaxing riverside beaches, there’s something for every adventurer. 

Location: Popular destinations include guided rafting Hells Canyon Idaho trips along the Snake River or the Salmon River. The first forms the boundary between Idaho and Oregon, while the second flows through central Idaho.

Planning tip: Wondering if a spring or summer Hells Canyon or Salmon River whitewater rafting Idaho tour is in the books for you? Enjoy cooler temps and light crowds from May to June, and hot weather with a chance of rain from late June to August.

Best for:

  • Weeklong vacations with wiggle room before and after your rafting trip
  • Visitors seeking additional excursions, such as hiking, fishing, and kayaking, all in one experience

Get Out in the Snow: Guided Full-Day Snowmobile Tours

Take in the sights of the state’s serene backcountry with guided snowmobile tours in Idaho for adventure. Deep in Idaho’s Payette National Forest, groomed trails lead to the freshest snow locals and visitors alike can’t get enough of. But pristine powder isn’t all you’ll see. Idaho’s winter-dwelling wildlife often makes an appearance on quieter trails, so be sure to keep an eye out!

Location: Payette National Forest in northern central Idaho, a short drive from Idaho’s capital, Boise.

Packing tip: Layers are your friend during Idaho’s winter. Pack temperature-appropriate layers to keep heat in and moisture out, such as thermal tops, waterproof jackets and pants, thick socks, and winter boots.

Best for: 

  • Shorter trips or “just passing through” stays
  • Light packing/small suitcases
