I found the most beautiful lake in Idaho!
I’ve explored a majority of the United States and, in my opinion, this place is really up there with one of the most beautiful lakes in the country. Alice Lake is located in the middle of Sawtooth National Forest in Idaho. It’s about 2.5-3 hours away from Boise, and the trailhead is called “Tin Cup

Missing the Moonlight
I suppose if it could ever be said that I belong, it would be to the darkling hours of the night. The moonlight and stars, the dance of the clouds and shadows. Reveling in the evening while other mortals sleep. #poetry #photography #stars #sky #wlw

Is anyone else absolutely in LOVE with the Care Bears?! I’ve loved them since I was a kid and I’ve known for a while now about Miniso but I didn’t think that we’d actually get one in this state!! Some of the larger locations have a wide selection of stuffies as well but I’m honestly just thrill

Jump Creek, Idaho
We love this place! We’ve been here many times. We take the Lower Falls route which is 1/2 mile. The hike is easy with some alternative paths, a climb to a cave off to the side, hiking in the river through an arch like tunnel and end at a ”watering hole” with a waterfall. Bring a swimsuit, towel

Ice Cave Hidden in Idaho’s Lava Fields 🤯❄️
I came to Idaho for hot springs and chaos. What I didn’t expect was to find a 1,000-foot-long lava tube that stays frozen all year — right in the middle of a dusty lava field. 🧊 The Shoshone Ice Caves are unreal. Outside, it’s straight-up desert. Inside? Cold air rushes out like someone left
