The Great Outdoors
Greenbelt River Walk
Covering 5 miles on both sides of the Snake River it is a joint project of the city and its residents spearheaded by the Idaho Falls Rotary Club whose annual Great Snake River Duck Race provides additional funds for expansion and improvement of the project. Visit their website for more information!
Mesa Falls
"At Upper Mesa Falls, a thunderous curtain of water – as tall as a 10-story building – pours over remnants of an ancient volcanic super-eruption that spewed ash over much of the current US. A mile south, Lower Mesa Falls repeats the performance; the river continually chiseling away at the solidified ash and lava. Some layers are more than a million years old."

West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park
OPEN SEASONALLY to road vehicles. During winter months, over-snow tours are available.
"On March 1, 1872, Yellowstone became the first national park for all to enjoy the unique hydrothermal and geologic features. Within Yellowstone's 2.2 million acres, visitors have unparalleled opportunities to observe wildlife in an intact ecosystem, explore geothermal areas that contain about half the world’s active geysers, and view geologic wonders like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River."
