p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Idaho Falls and the SE Idaho area - spots for astro and landscape? | |
Hey all!
I'm traveling to Idaho Falls for training at the INL next week. I'll be staying in Idaho Falls. I'm going out a day early to have a whole day for hiking and taking pictures. I also plan on doing as much hiking as I can after my day is over, or doing night photography.
I'm looking for places that are within an hour or two from Idaho Falls that are worth checking out. I've had some good recommendations from reddit on where to hike, but FM seemed like it'd the best place to find out where to photograph.
I'm interested in all sorts of ideas on what to check out, but I'm especially interested in:
1. Astrophotography - something to do (other than catch up work!) after a day of training. Anywhere to recommend that might provide some interesting foregrounds, tree/mountain/landscape silhouettes, places with a neat curve to the landscape, etc?
2. Sunrises and sunsets - any nice overlooks for watching a sunrise? This is mostly for the sake of enjoyment not photography, though a landscape worth photographing wouldn't hurt. Not sure I'll make it out in time to watch the sun set, but places to do this would also be great.
3. Formations, landmarks, ecologies, etc that are special to the area
No lenses longer than 200mm or wider than 24mm. I'm not into wildlife/birding.
