Adjacent to Washington and Oregon in the Pacific Northwest, Idaho is a big state. Idaho is a mountainous state with an area larger than that of all of New England. Idaho’s climate is diverse and influenced by weather patterns off the Pacific Ocean. Generally, the northern part of the state receives more precipitation than southern Idaho, which has warmer summer temperatures. Central Idaho is home to one of North America’s oldest ski resorts, Sun Valley, where the world’s first chairlift was installed in 1936. Other noted outdoor sites include Hells Canyon, the Salmon River, and its embarkation point of Riggins.
