| Idling in Idaho Idaho is nicknamed the Gem State because of its abundance of natural resources. The landscape is rugged with some of the largest unspoiled natural areas in the United States. It is a Rocky Mountain state with abundant natural resources and scenic areas. The state has snow-capped mountain ranges, rapids, placid lakes and steep canyons. |
The waters of Snake River rush through Hells Canyon, deeper than the Grand Canyon. Shoshone Falls plunges down rugged cliffs from a height greater than that of Niagara Falls. Luckily, idling is not as serious an issue as it is in some other states, but it is still important that strides are made in its reduction. |
