Okay, folks, let’s dive into my little adventure exploring Southern Idaho. It wasn’t some meticulously planned trip, more like a “Hey, let’s see what’s out there!” kind of deal.
So, I started by, you know, just Googling “Southern Idaho attractions.” Seriously, that’s it. I didn’t have any fancy guidebooks or anything. Just me, my trusty laptop, and a craving for something new.
I started pulling some notes. The first thing, I gotta figure out where I even want to go. Southern Idaho is pretty big, right?
Mapping Things Out (Sort Of)
First, I used the tool to get a general sense of the area. I looked at major cities, like Twin Falls and Boise, and started to get a lay of the land. I figured those would be good home bases for exploring.
- Twin Falls: Seemed like a good central spot, close to the Snake River Canyon.
- Boise: The capital city, obviously, with more of an urban vibe, but also close to some outdoor stuff.
Digging into the “What to Do”
I started looking for specific things that jumped out at me. I wasn’t looking for anything too intense, just some cool sights, maybe some easy hikes, and good places to grab a bite.
I started to build a list of potential spots, just jotting down things that sounded interesting. Things I searched included phrases like “best hikes near Twin Falls,” “things to do in Boise with kids” (even though I don’t have kids, sometimes those lists have the cool, easy stuff!), and “scenic drives in Southern Idaho.”
Building My (Very Rough) Itinerary
From there, I started a simple itineary to figure out my * wasn’t anything fancy, just a basic outline to keep me somewhat on track. I’m more of a “go with the flow” kind of traveler, but having a general idea helps.
So that’s pretty much it! That’s how I tackled planning my Southern Idaho trip. No magic tricks, just some good old-fashioned internet research and a willingness to explore. Hope this helps someone else who’s thinking about heading that way!
