We visited Yellowhawk for a wine tasting with our group of 12 to celebrate my daughter's upcoming wedding. George Ann made it an extra special experience for us sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm for the wines she creates. She even taught my daughter and her maid of honor how to sabre the cork from the bottle and created keepsake tree ornaments from the corks, which made a perfect memento of the weekend. Not only was the experience special, the wines were delicious and the grounds are spectacular! I recommend Yellowhawk to everyone, especially if you love a good sparkling wine. Thank you George Ann for an experience none of us will ever forget!

We had such a blast tasting wines here! We stopped in last minute as we had just pulled into town, and they were able to accommodate us. Linda was so personable, knowledgeable, and great with our kids. I’m not a big fan of whites and rosés, and the ones I tasted here were really good in my opinion. Bought a couple cabs. They waive 1 tasting fee with purchase.

This was my favorite winery of our whole day. ( This was a 5 stop winery tour! ) So big props to Pepper Bridge. I knew I was going to love this special little place just from their website and how cute it looked. Reservations were easy and the small detail of having my name printed on the tasting sheet upon arrival! Such a nice touch! We had two servers during our tasting - each full of information but didn't linger and just gave us the right amount of small talk. I fell in love with the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc and had to buy a bottle. The scenery is beautiful, the inside tasting room is also lovely - but def. sit on the patio! The view is stunning and so relaxing. This is the only winery out of the day I would come back to. Great job team! I can't wait to come back!

For our 25th wedding anniversary, I wanted to find unique experiences to enjoy, and the blending experience at Northstar was perfect! We spent two hours learning about wine, what our taste buds prefer and creating our own red blends. Can’t wait to toast with our wine next year!

I had the privilege of staying here while my honey and his crew were working in College Place for 6 weeks. This is a beautiful well cared for park is the perfect retreat for recharging your soul. Being next to the river is peaceful, and fishing it is even better. The camp hosts, Chip, Chad, and Pat and her Husband Rob were wonderful people. Chip was so kind to share the history of the area and converse with. Lots of wildlife hanging around. Had the liberty of hanging out with the deer, they enjoy the apple trees in the camp ground. Saw Mama bear and two cubs hanging around the apple trees too.

The best train experience, few as we've had, that we have ever had. The train was in excellent condition, just don't try and adjust the window shade. The volunteers were kind, helpful, informative, and fun. Max was a hoot. Our trip was the 3.5 hour "Fall Colors" excursion. While many of the trees in this area are evergreen, a lot of the smaller bushes, grasses, and other plants still provide a bountiful cornucopia of color. Entering the train, seats are first come first served. One thing I loved about this ride is how they handled the view. To ensure everyone received views of the river side, passengers switch sides before making the return trip. If you want to get some different views, you are permitted to go look out the open windows between cars or you can go to the baggage car that has large open windows on either side. It makes for a fantastic experience. This trip included a meal at the return point. We elected for the chicken almond salad. It was good, with the highlight being the pumpkin spice cupcake for dessert. Other food options were a taco salad (vegan it non-vegan), ham and cheese sandwich, and a standard house salad. If you want to get some pictures or video without any photo bombers, meal time is ideal. While everyone is eating, go to your favorite spots to get some pictures and videos. It is an ideal time to do so. For overnight stays in the area: May's Place Bed and Breakfast is where we stayed for the night. In downtown Elgin, it is a quaint place that is within walking distance of the train station. You'll need to book another night if you don't want to check out before leaving for the train. Elgin is near LA Grande, with lots of hotels. If you want to be more budget friendly, Wallowa Lake State Park is less than an hour away and has RV and tent spots starting at just over $20/night. If you are in an RV, be aware that parking is minimal at the train station and most spots will not accommodate an RV or a trailer of any kind. Overall, this trip is incredible and we plan on going on some of their other trips next year. I highly recommend looking through their offerings and finding one that interests you. You won't be disappointed.

We had a great time! Our first time visiting this Lodge and it didn’t disappoint. The room 213 was beautiful and very clean. The soaking pools were very nice and there is a cold plunge which I loved. The lodge is next to the highway and a railroad 🛤️, something to keep in mind if you’re a light sleeper. We did eat at the restaurant which had reasonably priced food and it was delicious. We do plan to come back 🫶

We really enjoyed ourselves on the Christmas Train! If you are somewhat local, you can’t miss it! We went on a Sunday at 11am. It was real cold but we did fine in the open air car (there are 2) with all of our layers. The train ride is about 30 mins. Once in Sumpter at The Depot, some of our kids played outside in the snow while a few waited in line to see Santa. It was a long wait but Santa gave each group 5+ minutes of undivided attention. Snacks were cookies, donuts, candy, and cuties. Cocoa table was packed but we just waited and it was fine. Cute little picture taking setup around back. Then 30 mins back on the train. Our kids are age 3-13 years and they all had fun!! Staff was friendly and funny on the train 🚂

Came up on the fall colors train and had enough time to check this place out before heading back down. It's a very cool part of Oregon history and an amazing machine. I can only imagine how noisy it was as it moved along shoveling rocks and spitting them out. It definitely left it mark on the landscape and mother nature is slowly taking it back over time.. definitely worth checking out if you are in the area..

A vast array of artifacts and information about the Baker City History found here! The most amazing part was the huge donated rock and fossil collection. Highly recommend as a cool spot to explore and good for all ages.

Don't skip this park if you're passing along I-84 at Baker City Oregon. They offer expert displays and live interactive presentations. The park is only minutes away from the interstate and the entrance is easy to locate. The resrooms are very clean and their water station has the best tasting water. Views from the park are spectacular. You can see Baker City, mountains, the Oregon Trail, and the surrounding areas. Park staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Parking was easy and they have many places to picnic.

Year after year after year, you can depend on a professional, fun trip down the Snake River. Regardless if it’s a summer float/fishing trip or fall hunting trip, these are the people you want to go with.

Beautiful, well-maintained campground on the Snake River. All the sites I saw (loop C) have electricity and water. I think some of the others also have sewer. On a Sunday night in August I had most of Loop C to myself. Full restrooms with showers at no extra charge. Spacious level sites have paved access, with plenty of room on the grass to put up a tent or screen room. A few negatives don't outweigh the good things here. There were a lot of bugs. A high gusty wind came up about 10:30 at night and lasted a few hours (otherwise very calm). Fortunately I was warned about the wind by one of my few fellow-campers; it had broken his tent poles the night before. The noise from I-84 a mile or two away is constant, and there is a lot of rail freight traffic across the river. A wildfire in the area earlier this summer burned the surrounding hillsides and right up to the edge of the camping area itself, and along the river bank. There's still some smoke smell. I didn't see any damage to campground facilities or sites. It's good that they keep the grass green.

Great place to reminisce, or learn area history. Information is provided on many different cultures. This was thought provoking and stirred many conversations in my group. The garden was a memorable experience. The horticulturalist should be proud of providing this area for our enjoyment.

This place is so beautiful! Not aa many people as I expected. I will be coming here often. Would like to rent one the cabins some day.

We love coming here, the kids always have a blast feeding the animals and loving on the kangaroos and goats. They have done an awesome job upgrading several of the exhibits especially in the barn. They have a nice shaded play area for the kids to play at and look like they will be adding a really fun new play area soon ! Great way to spend a few hours.

If this vineyard isn't on your list yet, you're missing out. Beautiful views and location. Delicious wine and wonderful staff. Recommend 10/10

Came here while I was visiting my mother, very nice staff and the wine was fantastic. We can’t forget about the star of the experience, they had the sweetest dog on property! Would definitely come back if I’m in the area!

We came in a little late, but Ann was very accommodating to us. Out of 3, we each enjoyed a different flight and had the Gourmet cheese board. Delicious food & wines. Love the option with a bottle of brut and different juices. Gorgeous views & atmosphere.

We had the absolute best day ever getting married at Roystone! We are so grateful to have found such a beautiful place. The owners were so kind and easy to work with.. Our friends and family raved about how peaceful and private it was. We were able to rent the spring room a few hrs the day before to set up and I am so glad we did as it made the big day go off smooth sailing. After that we rented the pool and hot tub for our friends and family. They loved it! We will remember this day for a lifetime..

When the smoke and heat outside drive you inside, Sol Invictus and a glass of Pinot Noir can NOT be beat! ;-D

I’m originally from Afghanistan, but I currently live in Dallas, Texas. I recently traveled to Idaho, where a friend of mine — who lives in Orofino, about five hours from Nampa — came to meet us. He invited us to visit the Warhawk Air Museum, and I must say, it was an absolutely amazing experience 🤩. One moment that really stood out for me was seeing flags from many different countries on display — but unfortunately, not Afghanistan’s. That made me feel a little sad. However, at that very moment, my friend found and gifted me an Afghan military hat. That small gesture meant a lot to me, and I was truly happy to see something representing my country there. The Warhawk Museum is truly admirable. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. One of the employees took time to patiently answer all our questions and guided us throughout the visit with a warm attitude. I sincerely hope that the management of this museum recognizes and appreciates such dedicated and respectful staff members. Many thanks to the administration for creating such a memorable experience 🌟

Zip Idaho was an awesome adventure. We came to Idaho for our honeymoon for the adventure and views and this stop was not a disappointment. Our guides Jay and Kevin were full of jokes and are very good at what they do. The views from the lines are amazing too. We definitely recommend going.

We love the Cleo's nature trail and go there usually every year. It is well maintained and pretty. We appreciate the Christian inspirational phrases and references. The Empty Tomb is very cool. This is one of those places you really don't want to share with everyone but I suppose as a business, it's only fair to give it the good review it deserves so they can get the support of the community and visitors.

We had our small elopement ceremony at the park and it was perfect. Such beautiful scenery and we got some great pictures. So many walking paths as well, if it was busy in a section you can turn a corner and feel like it's just the two of you. I've always loved this park since I was little so it was special to have this moment here.

WOW. Sorry I have not been here before. This massive building with all the marble floors, walls, pillars is just stunning. And the wood work that was hand crafted which was beautiful. And all of the posters and history throughout the building telling the history of Idaho. From the Indian significance of what they have been an integral part of our history to the Lewis and Clark traveling throughout Idaho. The grounds are such a beautiful mix of lush greenery to the plants and the many hedges of roses.

Visited Zoo Boise just yesterday and had such a fantastic time! The zoo is incredibly clean and well maintained—every path and exhibit looked spotless, and you can really see how much care goes into everything. I was impressed by how much space the animals have; it feels like a comfortable home for them, which isn’t something you see at every zoo. The new red panda exhibit was a huge highlight! It was so much fun to watch them climbing and exploring—I could have stayed there all afternoon. I also made sure to stop by and see the tiger, who’s always been my favorite. Seeing him up close was amazing, as always. I love the interactive activities here too—feeding the giraffes is a must, and the little boat ride offers a fun break from walking. There are plenty of concession stands for snacks, and the layout makes it easy to find your way around. Zoo Boise just keeps getting better, and I’m super excited for their next expansion. Highly recommend for a fun and memorable day out!

Was cruising along the river on a Lime scooter and next thing I know found myself in the Greenbelt staring at a giraffe. Then it took me over a gorgeous river and through the Boise State Campus. Boise is lucky to have such a beautiful gem and it seems like they truly cherish it. A tourist visit to Boise without quality time along the river greenbelt isn’t a true visit.

Beautiful botanical garden!! It was a good size and I thought there was a lot to see. I loved how art was incorporated in the garden through sculptures and the fairy house exhibit. The old graveyard was interesting and I loved the koi and their history. The location is cool because you can go visit the penitentiary right next door too. We brought in lunch and ate at a bench in the garden, and there was plenty of areas you could do that.

Luckily, I found a podcast a few months ago with stories of inmates from this Penitentiary. After binging episodes, I knew I needed to visit. I drove with my family from Utah to make an entire to out of Boise, a place I'd never been before. Secretly, I just wanted to visit this site. Having visited both Alcatraz and Eastern Penitentiary before, this place is more personal. It has a certain atmosphere of reverence while maintaining the history. I'm sure my family was overwhelmed by the stories I told (thanks to the podcast). The smaller size certainly helped you feel the family each inmate felt from other inmates. Stories of inmates were posted everywhere as a reminder of the souls who filled the walls, not just a place of lock up and punishments. My only regret is not paying for the tour. I wanted to do it at my own pace, yet I'm sure they would have accommodated or I could walk through alone again. I encourage everyone to make the pilgrimage to this place. Who knows how long before it crumbles away.
