50 State Travel Blog - Hot and Soaking in Idaho

When Witchy Woman told us we were going to the hot springs in Idaho, everyone was ready to go. Princess Megan Snow Rose was happy it didn’t smell like sulfur. Jellyfish was happy it was all mineral water and had lots of bubbles.



When I was in the 5th grade, I picked Idaho for my state to research. It’s true Idaho is known for it’s potatoes. Other than that, Idaho is a pretty low-key chill state. There’s lots to do outdoors like hiking, fishing, and skiing in the wintertime.

Maid of the Mist Most Macabre hung up her Hawaiian Christmas bus ornament on the rear view mirror and drove straight through the night to get to Idaho. Needless to say, she was exhausted and spent the whole day sucking up the water.

Šuŋgmánitu Tȟáŋka saw there was a golf course and talked Richard 😀🎵 into playing a round. They saw a lot of Buffalo on the course. Me, , Krista , Maid of the Mist Most Macabre , AmyJo-Where did 2025 go??? , Jellyfish and WakeUpAndLive~NOV Word Monger enjoyed a wonderful soak in the springs at the nice warm temperature of 102 degrees. Even the pets had a good soak in the Pet park.

After a great soak, I rode the Go-Karts with WakeUpAndLive~NOV Word Monger and Witchy Woman . It was a wild ride with plenty of dirt, bumpy hills, and plenty of twists and turns. After an exhausting ride that made our butts sore we went back and soaked some more in the springs while the rest of crew shopped for souvenirs. Princess Megan Snow Rose bought Petyon a fresh Kong, Richard 😀🎵 and Jellyfish bought more stickers for their Nalgene bottles and Maid of the Mist Most Macabre bought a golf ball ornament for the rearview mirror. We all had a good sleep in our posh hotel not far from the springs.
