The views from here are very surreal and will remind you of the the dessert terrain of neighboring states Arizona, Utah and Nevada. Regardless of where you stayed the previous night, head over to balanced rock just 30 miles west of twin falls and very near to Buhl.

They have wood fired pizzas with unique flavors and we absolutely devoured them after our long day!

The water is so clear that you can easily look at the bottom of the springs, as well as indulge in some soaking here! Do note that the paddling in and out takes about 2 hours in itself, so make sure to budget time accordingly. You start by paddling downstream for about 40 min to get to the springs. A hidden gem is the Blue heart springs situated about a north of Banbury hot springs. At Banbury you can also rent out kayaks to take them out for a spin on snake river, which is just adjacent to the hot springs. Reservations are highly recommended for hot springs especially if you are looking for a private soak, for the public pool you should be fine without reservations.

There are two parking lots and the one next to the trail is very convenient, however it does get full, fret not there is an overflow parking a mile away as well. A couple of things to note when you head out on this trail, depending on the time of the year, this place can get quite hot when the sun is out, keep plenty of hydration ready. This trail meanders on the side of the canyon all the way to to some pristine springs and waterfalls. This falls is easily accessible via a very short trail from the parking lot of Ritter Island entrance.īox Canyon is also a part of this state park and has this really cool trail that comes very highly recommended to do when you are here. ![]() ![]() This falls is absolutely gorgeous and we recommend making a quick stop here for photos. Just outside Ritter Island is the famous Lemmon Falls. Some of the absolute must do include going to Ritter Island and taking a peek at how early settlers constructed barns and dams to make most of the natural resources. Thousand Island State park is one of the most famous parks to visit in this area and it is spread out across Hagerman/Buhl Area. Start early with a fresh cup of coffee at Bullets n Brew as there are plenty of adorable waterfalls to explore and take pictures of on today’s agenda. We stayed at a cosy lodge Billingsley Creek Lodge, there are plenty of such lodges in nearby cities as well, so do check out cities like Buhl for many more such option. Day 1 : Hagerman, hot springs and Exploring Southern Idaho’s Countrysideįor Day 1 we begin our journey in Hagerman where we also plan to stay the night. We chose to fly into Boise and we were able to quickly head out after renting our car from the airport itself. The easiest way to get to any of Idaho’s major cities and attractions is to fly into Boise International or Twin Falls airports, which are both very well connected with most major cities in the US. Come along with us to spend 4 days in a short yet immersive experience exploring Southern Idaho. The best part of this region is the people! I am confident you wont find people as friendly or adventurous as much as folks from this part of the country. Idaho in general evokes a sense of potatoes and farms and country to a commoner, but there is so much more to it. This Summer we visited Southern Idaho to explore the region and Spoiler alert, we loved every bit of it. We have a constant quest to make our trips interesting, often by visiting places that are not really publicized for their tourist attractions. ![]()
