And nature gives us even more...
Idaho's rich mining history (in the mid-1800・s Idaho produced more silver than any other state) and its legacy of ghost towns located throughout the state will bring any adventurer a day of fun. Maybe you will be lucky enough to stumble upon one of Idaho's many fossil beds where remains of prehistoric life were discovered. And while you are digging, why not take your chances with the wide variety of gem stones such as the beautiful star garnet.
Are you ready to visit Idaho?
These adventures should include something to interest every member of your family or group. Not only does Idaho offer all these opportunities to enjoy nature at its best; but, it・s all quite accessible - - unlike most states which have allowed their natural resources to be commercialized or to be privately owned and, therefore, inaccessible to the public. Idaho・s beauty and bounty is for everyone to enjoy, not just a privileged few. And, grassroots
conservation groups are working hard to keep it that way.
