To say summer was extraordinary would be an understatement. Along with record-setting whitewater levels and a total solar eclipse, we teamed up with Idaho-based company Art of Visuals to highlight some of Idaho’s amazing scenery.

If you’re an Art of Visuals fan coming to Idaho for the first time, you’ll want to check out some of the state’s most fantastic opportunities for photographers and explorers. Here are a few must-visit stops for your bucket list; and remember to tag your Idaho adventures using #VisitIdaho on Facebook and Instagram.
