From the forested hill and mountain country of the northern panhandle to the broad high country deserts of the south, Idaho is home to diverse landscapes. Follow the Oregon Trail into southern Idaho, where Register Rock, near American Falls, records the names of some of the pioneers. In southwestern Idaho lies Boise, the state capital. Boise offers many fine city parks, camping facilities, good fishing, and a fine historical museum. Elsewhere in the southwest portion of the state, the fast-flowing Snake River offers incredible views as it rushes over falls and cliffs 500 feet below the surrounding land in the deep Snake River Canyon near Twin Falls.
