Idaho is a state in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.

Lying east of Washington and Oregon, Idaho is a big state. It's been said if you flatten all the mountains in Idaho, the state would be the size of Texas. To be sure, Idaho covers two times zones, runs from Canada to Nevada and encompasses the western side of the continental divide of the Rocky Mountains. Rivers, mountains and farmland dominate the state's landscape. The panhandle is emerald green hillsides, timbered mountains and sprinkled with lakes of all sizes. Central Idaho is covered with jagged peaks. The Snake River Plain, with its wide open vistas, irrigated farm lands and vibrant cities forms the character of Southern Idaho.

State Capital Idaho : Boise.
