Why Idaho?
Idaho’s good enough for Clint Eastwood. So guess what? It’s good enough for you.
Have you seen Pale Rider? Bronco Billy? Okay, it’s been a few years. But our landscapes are still as breath-taking, and our cowboys still as gruff. Only now their ranches run on GPS technology and our Indian citizens are casino moguls.

Idaho – Wikipedia
Idaho is a state in the northwestern region of the United States. Idaho is the 14th most expansive, the 39th most populous, and the 7th least densely populated of the 50 United States. The state’s largest city and capital is Boise. Residents are called “Idahoans”. Idaho was admitted to the Union on July 3, 1890, as the 43rd state.
Idaho is a mountainous state with an area larger than that of all of New England. It is landlocked, surrounded by the states of Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Montana and the Canadian province of British Columbia. However, the network of dams and locks on the Columbia River and Snake River make the city of Lewiston the farthest inland seaport on the Pacific coast of the contiguous United States.
Idaho’s nickname is the “Gem State”, because nearly every known type of gemstone has been found here. In addition, Idaho is one of only two places in the world where star garnets can be found in any significant quantities, the other being India, though they may be found elsewhere in extremely limited quantities. Additionally Idaho is sometimes called the “Potato State” owing to its popular crop. The state motto is Esto Perpetua (Latin for “Let it be forever”).
