2. Pocatello Field Office

116 sites · Pocatello, Idaho

Floating, fishing, and flora and fauna galore are waiting for you at Pocatello Field Office! Anglers will be amped about the shoreside camping on the Blackfoot River, where juniper and sagebrush will fill your nose while you cast your line for stunning trout. Great horned owls, hawks, and eagles will soar over your head on the trails. There’s over 40 miles of them for hikers, bikers, and off road thrill seekers to enjoy at the Chinese Peak-Blackrock Trail System. It’s the backyard of the town of Pocatello, so stop into town for brews and supplies before heading out to the Bear River for a day or weekend long float. There’s rapids aplenty (and for all abilities) between the Bear River, Blackfoot River, and Portneuf River. Plus, campgrounds with canyon and forest views will ensure you maximum fun and relaxation at Pocatello.

3. Caribou National Forest

270 sites · Idaho

The smaller of the two parks in Caribou-Targhee National Forests, Caribou is a welterweight not to be underestimated. Just south of its older brother, this land spans Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho, and is a crucial spot for supporting caribou populations. None of the animals here are bashful: bison, moose, deer, mountain lions, falcons, elk, and even black bears abound! Beautiful to snap shot from a distance. Just south of the forest, Bear Lake is a fun spot to take a dip after you hike one of Caribou’s dozens of peaks (Mead Peak and Hawks Peak have gorgeous views, as does Big Elk Mountain at the northern tip of the park). At the south end, you’ll find campgrounds, fast flowing creeks, and the Minnetonka Cave at St. Charles Canyon. This is a site to see, but it stays 40 degrees down there all year so be sure to pack a coat, even if you’re sweating above ground. When you’re done, stop in the charming small town of Montpelier, surrounded by rolling hills and full of retro grocers and kitschy eateries. Yum!

4. Targhee National Forest

469 sites · Wyoming

You’ll want to allow yourself plenty of time to take advantage of all that Targhee National Forest has to offer. On several million acres, waterfalls cascade down volcanic cliffs, and crystal clear pools provide some of the best cutthroat trout fishing in the world. Rafters and tubers frolic in the shadows of the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone, and the smell of campfires makes you feel like an Oregon Trailer. Ancient rock formations sprout wildflowers, providing a scenic spot to boulder or rock climb, and Big Spring & Palisades Reservoir boasts over 70 miles of shoreline to bask in the sun after a long day of hiking. Two of the trails here access the high-altitute Alaska Basin, as well as trails in Grand Teton National Park. You’ll also be right next to the city of Idaho Falls, perfect for stocking up on the essentials before a full day of exploring grizzly bear habitats and karst limestone formations, all under the watchful eye of the snow-peaked Tetons!
