Eastern
Idaho is a land where the snowcapped peaks of The Grand Tetons feed
thundering waterfalls, glistening lakes and free flowing rivers. It
is a place
where elk and moose graze in the grasslands and deer and antelope
play. A spot where you can watch wild swans fly and eagles soar. It is
an area that's easy to get to yet, to this day, remains uncompromised.
Eastern
Idaho has always been a magnet for adventurers. A neighbor to
Yellowstone and Teton National Parks, it shares much of the same
spectacular beauty and awesome adventure ... but without the crowds.
The
same natural forces that made Yellowstone so scenic have made Island
Park similarly beautiful. Upon leaving the agricultural
Upper Snake River Valley outside of
Ashton, you'll actually drive up the edge of an ancient collapsed
volcano. The heart of
Island Park is
Harriman State Park, 4,330 acres of pristine forest land and
high-country meadows. Located in the center of a 16,000 acre wildlife
refuge. The park is a haven to rare trumpeter swans, numerous
waterfowl, elk, deer and other wildlife. The world famous fly fishing
stream,
Henry's Fork of the Snake River, winds through the meadows of the
refuge.
