1. North Idaho - A land punctuated with lapis-blue flowing rivers and cascading waterfalls. The panhandle of Idaho touts the greatest concentration of lakes in the Northwest.

2. North Central Idaho - Of all the states in the union, only Alaska has more than Idaho's 18 million wild acres. Many are here, a wilderness of peaks, canyons and streams that Lewis and Clark called paradise.

3. Southwest Idaho - This dramatic montage of desert, rivers and mountains has lured visitors for centuries. Serene mountain lakes brim with trout, world class whitewater waits to be kayaked and awe inspiring canyons play home to birds of prey.

4. Central Idaho - An endless source of enchantment, a palette of wonder whose reflections and patters are ever changing. There are unearthly flows of lava frozen in time and alpine lakes, each cool and perfect.

5. South Central Idaho - A waterfall higher than Niagara. Rock monoliths 60 stories tall. Underground rivers gushing from sheer canyon walls. The beautiful secrets of this once forbidden land are only now becoming known to the world.

6. East Idaho - This is where the snow capped peaks of the Grand Tetons feed thundering waterfalls and free flowing rivers. Where wild flowers, pine and aspen create a kaleidoscope of autumn color and light.

7. Southeast Idaho - Two tribes dominated Southeast Idaho, the Shoshone and the Bannock. Although they spoke different languages, they shared a similar culture and lifestyle, migrating with the seasons to hunt buffalo and deer.
