What Is Idaho Known For? This Scenic State Offers More Than You Might Expect Published on April 14, 2025 by Marissa Crum
Updated on May 13th, 2025 Idaho, often referred to as the “Gem State,” is a diverse and scenic part of the American Northwest that offers more than meets the eye. While many people associate Idaho with potatoes, the state boasts a rich blend of natural beauty, outdoor recreation, cultural heritage, and economic contributions. In this Redfin article, we’ll highlight what makes Idaho stand out—whether you’re searching for homes in Coeur d’Alene or considering houses in Idaho Falls—while exploring the lifestyle and charm that define the state. Whether you’re planning a visit, considering a move, or just curious, here’s what Idaho is best known for—and why it continues to captivate locals and newcomers alike: Evel Knievel Jump Site On September 8, 1976, Evel Knievel attempted his final stunt to jump across the Snake River Canyon in the little town of Twin Falls, Idaho. This historic event was publicized world-wide and though Evel did not succeed in jumping across the canyon and landed safely at the bottom instead, his legend lives on through his jump site which still stands just two miles from the Twin Falls Visitor Center. You can also take a drive up to it and walk to the top of the mound of dirt constructed by his engineers and stand where his "rocket" launched into the air almost 50 years ago. This exciting part of modern American culture will reignite your childhood memories of this legendary daredevil.
Box Canyon Take a hike down to the 14 foot waterfall that spans the natural spring waters in Box Canyon State Park. The trailhead to Box Canyon is located adjacent to the parking lot where you will climb a short ladder over the fencing and follow the trail until you see the "cable ropes" for your descension several hundred feet into the canyon. This is a steep, moderately rugged trail to the canyon floor where you will stay on the trail to the left and hike to a roaring waterfall and then on to the clear spring waters in a beach area along the water's trail inviting you in for a cool refresher. Water temperature is a steady 52 degrees year round, so this may be a quick dip! If you follow the loop trail back out, you will hike a total of four miles with the trail taking you down to the Snake River and then around and up the back of the lava cliffs on a well maintained service road past local fish farms. This trail offers a variety of flora and fauna all along the way.
