The Southeastern Region
Southeastern Idaho is a great destination for those looking to learn more about Native American history and feel a real sense of western heritage. Pocatello, the home of Idaho State University, is where you can find the Idaho Museum of Natural History. Here, you can learn about the Shoshone and the Bannock tribes and how their migrating lifestyle affected their shared culture. Fort Hall was once an important trading post on the Oregon Trail. Today, visitors can learn of the impact the town had on the travelers and experience a real western town with the original drug store and saloon restored to their original condition. The hot springs, located in Lava Hot Springs, draw visitors year round to the four one hundred degree plus pools. They sit at the base of lava cliffs along the Portneuf River. What is often called the “gem” of the region is Bear Lake located on the Idaho-Utah border. The water is infused with soluble carbonates that create a beautiful turquoise-blue color and the sunrise kicks majestic reds, yellows and pinks off the already shocking blue of the lake. The lake is a Mecca for water sport enthusiasts and visitors can always participate in boating, fishing, swimming, and sailing activities. |
