About Idaho
Idaho is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is bordered by the Canadian province of British Columbia to the north, the states of Montana and Wyoming to the east, Nevada and Utah to the south, and Washington and Oregon to the west. The state’s capital and largest city is Boise.
Idaho is a landlocked state with a diverse landscape. The northern part of the state is mountainous, with the Sawtooth Mountains and the Bitterroot Mountains. The southern part of the state is more arid, with the Snake River Plain and the Great Basin. Idaho is home to a number of national parks and forests, including Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, and Craters of the Moon National Monument.
