Hello, celebrating our 25th anniversary we will be visiting the States again. I got a lot covered but Idaho is new to us. We have a week after Yellowstone to make it back to SF. We love nature and wildlife. Any suggestion is welcome from photographer's perspective. Thanks in advance!

Shoshone Falls just outside of Twin Falls Idaho was well worth a half day stop for my wife and I a few years ago. Very impressive waterfalls there.

Looking for something off the beaten path? Check out the Santa Rosa Mountains in far northern Nevada. If you're up for some dirt roads, the high elevation scenery is sublime.

Mesa Falls, just off US20 south of West Yellowstone is worth a look. Sawtooths are beautiful.

The area around Coeur d'Alene has a lot of nature to see. If you go that way, I'd suggest that afterward you cross into Washington and work your way down through the Palouse, further down to Pendleton, Oregon, then follow I-84 along the Columbia River to US97 (Hood River), then take 97 south through Central Oregon, maybe stopping at Crater Lake National Park, and then continuing to where 97 meets I-5, heading to San Francisco from there. Lots of beautiful things to see all along the way. This would make a nice (quick) week.

If you decide on a route like this, PM me and I can give you more info.

When leaving Yellowstone (if traveling south via Jackson), drive over Teton Pass and then to Hwy 31 to Swan Valley and to the main Hwy 15 and points of interest westward (Hailey, Ketchum, Sun Valley). The Idaho panhandle area, e.g., Coeur d'Alene, is very far off up north, but probably worth a visit if you have that much time on your hands.

Sorry, I had to mention I will be going from Jackson (4 day stay) where we visit Tetons towards Yellowstone. We will be staying in Gardiner for 4 days. We have never spend time in Idaho, so that's why we like to use our last week to enjoy this state.

No, by car and hiking trails. (up to about 5 mile)

With one week more it could be a great route (and I'm not complaining with our 5 weeks ) but I want to spend time in Idaho from Gardiner. This is a great opportunity to do it this time. We luckily have been to Washington state some years ago. I guess it makes more sense to stay in south-east, south and maybe south-west part of Idaho. However I will check out if Coeur d'Alene can be done without only driving all that week. It will depend on the rest of the highlights we plan to see.

This could work for us depending on highlights in Idaho. I will get into this. Thanks!
