Instead of going out of state for vacation this year, try something new in your home state of Idaho. Have a delicious meal in and night on the town in Billings or Boise. Hike the Big Springs Nature Trail while keeping your eyes peeled, ears open, and cameras ready for wildlife. Several working vacation ranches throughout the state offer cattle drives, wagon rides, horseback riding, and hunting and snowmobiling packages. You can also take to the hills and get your fill of white powder in the backcountry or Craters of the Moon Nordic Ski and Snowshoe Trail. If that’s not adventurous enough for you, try some whitewater rafting and kayaking, dog sledding, or hang gliding. Or load and up the kids and enjoy the state’s many theme and water parks, sleigh rides through pristine snow, and ice skating on frozen lakes. And just to think, it’s all waiting for you, right outside your front door! |

| Travel Auctions-Fun Way to Bargain Travel |
By now you’ve probably used an online booking site like Expedia or Travelocity. These sites are easy to use and often offer great deals on travel packages, hotels, car rentals, and flights. But, there is an even more fun and easy way to book your travels online! Consider participating in a travel auction! Online travel auction sites allow users to bid on a variety of travel deals and may offer greater savings than other online travel sites. Just like any other auction site, users search for and then bid on specific “items” during the bidding period, when the bidding period ends the user with the highest bid wins the item. Typically, travel details are entered after a winner is chosen. Here are some helpful tips for using a travel auction site: *Be patient. Travel auction sites are getting very popular and some people are bidding way over cost but deals can still be found if you are patient. *Read all the fine print, as there may be taxes and fees that can increase the price. Sometimes the increase can be quite significant so you should consider the total cost (after tax and fees) when bidding for an item. *Be flexible. Travel auctions are not ideal for travelers that require traveling on specific dates. Sometimes you may purchase the item and then chose dates at a later date. *It may be helpful to know on average what the cost would be through a travel agent or other site. If the bids get too high, it may be easier to go elsewhere. *See if there are any auction alert systems available on the site. Use this function to track your auctions. If available, it may be beneficial to see how items have been selling in the past. This can help you establish a maximum bidding price. Sometimes booking travel and planning may be boring and tedious but with travel auctions, you can have fun while getting a great deal. To get started check out skyauctions.com! |

| As one of the largest states in America, Idaho is also one of the least populated in terms of people per square mile. That means there is plenty to explore with little interruption, so travelers can observe the terrain and wildlife as it was meant to be, wild and untamed. Due to its diverse terrain and climate, outdoorsmen, adventurists, families, and those simply looking for somewhere to relax and get away from it all, will all fall in love with this great state. Hikers can trek along the Big Springs Nature Trail while keeping their eyes peeled, ears open, and cameras ready for wildlife such as bald eagles, osprey, deer, moose and others thrive in their natural habitats. Several ranches throughout the state, like the Bar H Bar Ranch, are working vacation ranches, many of which offer cattle drives, wagon rides, horseback riding, and hunting and snowmobiling packages along with other fun-filled activities. And the state has thousands of square miles dedicated to parks, wildlife preserves, conservation areas, and refuges. Skiers can also take to the hills and stay in one of the state’s many lodges or get their fill of white powder in the backcountry or Craters of the Moon Nordic Ski and Snowshoe Trail. Extreme sports include whitewater rafting and kayaking on the Snake River, dog sledding, and hang gliding. Families will enjoy the huge Silver Springs Theme Park, Roaring Springs, Raptor Reef, and Wild Water water parks, sleigh rides through beautiful pristine snow, and ice skating on frozen lakes.
