The 10 Best Lessons & Workshops in Idaho, United States
A mixture of forested mountains, alpine peaks, wildflower meadows, deep river canyons, and high plains deserts, Idaho is a paradise for golf, skiing, fly fishing, and river rafting. Boise, the capital, is the state's largest city and airline hub. North of Boise are golf, lake, and ski resorts from McCall in the south to Sandpoint and Coeur D'Alene in the north. East of Boise are the ski slopes of Ketchum and Sun Valley. East of Sun Valley are Craters of the Moon National Monument, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, and the small town of Island Park just across the border from Yellowstone National Park. Boise's Basque Museum and Cultural Center reflects having the largest Basque population in the U.S. Reflecting Idaho's diverse heritage, near the Idaho Historical Museum in Boise's Julia Davis Park is the Idaho Black History Museum's chronicle of the slave York who served the Lewis & Clark Expedition. After a family visit to the Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey and an outdoor performance at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, the next stop after Boise is likely to be Payette Lake in McCall or Sun Valley and Ketchum. About 100 miles north of Boise, past Cascade Lake, McCall takes you to the shores of Payette Lake. Go golfing, fishing, hiking, biking, waterskiing, sailing, boating, or whitewater river rafting. Ski or snowshoe Brundage Mountain or Tamarack Resorts, as well as Ponderosa State Park in winter. Ice skate year-round at Manchester Ice & Event Centre. About 450 miles north of Boise, there are resort lakes near skiing and golf at Coeur d'Alene, Hayden Lake, and Sandpoint. Golf, tennis, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, rafting, and hunting are popular in Sun Valley and Ketchum. Sockeye salmon may no longer do much spawning in Redfish Lake, but the boating and mountain scenery in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area make the short trip north to Stanley worthwhile. When the snows come the whole family will head for the slopes of Soldier Mountain, Bald Mountain, Dollar Mountain, or the Sun Valley Resort. A tiny forested town of about 250 people, Island Park has a large reservoir with fishing and boating, as well as Henry's Fork of the Snake River for fly fishing. It's only 15 miles from Yellowstone as well.

I love Fusions! This is a wonderful glass studio where you can make all kinds of things from glass. They are located in beautiful downtown Eagle. I started going there with a friend in August. It is so much fun and if you love art and love to create things that are unique this is the place for you. You can go with friends or by yourself. You can create a range of glass art objects from dishes to wall panels, candle holders, sun catchers, and decorative pieces. You can even make beautiful art pictures from glass powders. Which I haven’t tried yet, but I will! The owner, Melissa is very nice and friendly. She has classes you can take to learn how to make all kinds of things using various techniques. Melissa and Mark are always glad to help you and answer any questions. They also have a gift shop area, where you can buy beautiful art pieces made of glass art from local artists. A great place for buying a gift for someone special. I can’t say enough good things about Fusions! I’ve always had a great experience. I’ve met some very talented people there. I’d go there everyday if I could! So if you’re looking for a new creative outlet or just want to learn about fused glass, you need to go to Fusions! Oh, and they sell glass there also.... beautiful glass in all colors and varieties. Linda L.
