Vast and rugged, Idaho still has the feel of a remote wilderness. A wonderful north-western USA destination, the state is sometimes overlooked by adventurers who make a bee-line for Montana or Washington State. With jagged mountains, expansive forests, refreshing lakes and surging rivers, this is a terrific pick for active travellers of all ages. Accommodation options range from simple B&Bs to luxurious lodges, fit for a whole host of tastes and budgets. And whilst many of the best places to stay in Idaho are set in tranquil natural surroundings, the state capital, Boise, promises a brilliant urban buzz, too.
