Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Idaho

While in Idaho, you might enjoy a visit to:

Semi-unnatural geyser. It's been here since 1937, when a local man drilling in search of heated water for a swimming pool penetrated an underground chamber.

A desolate region proud of husbanding over 50 nuclear reactors, including the the first nuclear power plant.
~162 miles from Boise.

This Big-Friend-turned-Paul-Bunyan statue became the mascot of the Lumberjacks after it was reportedly found in a nearby field.

Monument to Evel's unsuccessful 1974 attempt to jump across the Snake River Canyon.
~112 miles from Boise.

Architectural oddity - a building wearing a giant miner's helmet.

Last traffic signal on I-90 lies in repose in a coffin at the Wallace Mining Museum.

The museum is housed in a former church, salvaged after a nine foot wall of water from the Teton Dam's 1976 rupture turned Rexburg into Mudville.
