Tours to Idaho

LOCATION OF IDAHO: Idaho, located in the northwestern US, is perhaps the only state to be named as a result of a hoax! The state borders Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Montana, Wyoming and the Canadian province of British Columbia. The capital is Boise.
Idaho, a Rocky Mountain state, has a rugged landscape with some of the largest unspoiled natural areas in the country. Visit the state for towering, snow-capped mountain ranges, swirling white rapids, peaceful lakes and steep canyons.
The Idaho Black History Museum was established in 1995 and is one of the few black history museums in the nation.

 Boise Art Museum: The Museum is the only accredited art museum in the state. The gallery represents local and regional artwork and played an important role in Boise’s growing community.

 Warhawk Air Museum: The museum preserves World War II history and aviation history from the advent of flight through the space age.
