Idaho Falls

Published: June 22, 2020

I've passed through Idaho Falls once or twice a year since I moved to Utah, but never actually stopped to see the falls. This summer I needed a break from Salt Lake and decided to spend some time in Idaho Falls to get away and see the Falls for the first.

Return Drive

On my way home, I passed through Star Valley, Wyoming doing some sightseeing and going on a short hike. It was a bit rainy earlier in the morning, but cleared up by the time I went hiking at Periodic Spring outside Afton, Wyoming.
