Idaho Falls
Idaho Falls, once known as Eagle Rock,
is the hub and the largest city in eastern
Idaho, so it’s a great place to use as
a base from which to explore the beauty
around you. The Snake River runs
through Idaho Falls and is paralleled by
a popular greenbelt. On the east side
of the Snake River, you’ll see one of the
city’s landmark buildings—the impressive
LDS temple, which welcomes visitors.
On the opposite bank, you’ll find
Idaho Falls’ hotel row. In between are
the man-made falls on the Snake River,
which gave the city its name.
Downtown Idaho Falls is encircled by
beautifully landscaped neighborhoods,
more than 1,200 acres of parks, four
golf courses, and an indoor aquatic center.
Be sure to see the inspiring Idaho
Vietnam Memorial along the river, off
Fremont Street. Idaho Falls is emerging
as a cultural heart of the region with
the outstanding 135,000-square-foot
Museum of Idaho, which presents
Idaho Falls history and national-caliber
traveling exhibits. Visit the Willard Arts
