Eastern Idaho is a land where the snowcapped peaks of The Grand Tetons feed thundering waterfalls, glistening lakes and free flowing rivers. It is a place where elk and moose graze in the grasslands and deer and antelope play. A spot where you can watch wild swans fly and eagles soar. It is an area that's easy to get to yet, to this day, remains uncompromised.

Eastern Idaho has always been a magnet for adventurers. A neighbor to Yellowstone and Teton National Parks, it shares much of the same spectacular beauty and awesome adventure ... but without the crowds.

The same natural forces that made Yellowstone so scenic have made Island Park similarly beautiful. Upon leaving the agricultural Upper Snake River Valley outside of Ashton, you'll actually drive up the edge of an ancient collapsed volcano. The heart of Island Park is Harriman State Park, 4,330 acres of pristine forest land and high-country meadows. Located in the center of a 16,000 acre wildlife refuge. The park is a haven to rare trumpeter swans, numerous waterfowl, elk, deer and other wildlife. The world famous fly fishing stream, Henry's Fork of the Snake River, winds through the meadows of the refuge.
