If you love mountains and lakes head to Idaho whose many scenic drives will showcase both. Coeur d’ Alene is a gorgeous city for a lake cruise then visit to Cataldo Mission. In Boise try the capital building and Basque or Idaho State museums. Ketchum’s Sawtooth Wilderness is known for hiking and wildlife viewing. Twin Falls, of course, for the Niagara of the West and white water rafting in the Snake River Canyon.
