South central Idaho was named the
“Magic Valley” for a very good reason:
Some of America’s most productive farmlands,
carved from the rock and sagebrush
and nourished by the water of the Snake
River, magically appear. More wonders
await if you take time to venture off the
interstate. Discover a world much different
than what you might expect. Explore an
area in which ancient geological mysteries
come to life. You’ll find top-notch fishing
and hunting. You’ll discover diverse and
unique recreation pursuits: caving, BASE
jumping, rock climbing, skiing, and snowshoeing.
You will be astonished at the
thundering waterfalls and massive canyons;
surprised at how cold an ice cave is on
a hot summer day, and enchanted with
the easy, relaxed countryside of beautiful
Hagerman Valley. Millions of years ago,
the same volcanic activity that today lies
beneath Yellowstone National Park made
this part of Idaho a hot spot, too. As you
travel the region, you will see the effects of
many geological upheavals in the stunning
features of the region: lava flows, the
Snake River Canyon, Rock Creek Canyon,
Malad Gorge, the Great Rift, and City
of Rocks.
