1000 Springs

Idaho's Thousand Springs An abundance of natural springs gush from steep canyon walls and cascade into the river below. The water source is the Snake River Aquifer, one of the largest groundwater systems in the world. It creeps through several thousand square miles under porous volcanic rock before emerging from the springs in the cliffs. Some say the Lost River in central Idaho drops into the ground at the base of the Lost River Mountains and comes out here. Up close and personal tours of the springs are available.

Shoshone Ice Caves Air currents have formed ice sculptures in this natural lava tube, creating striking natural phenomena. The cave, three blocks long and 90 feet below the earth's surface, is one of Nature's magic tricks. Guided tours are available. Just a short drive away is the incredible Mammoth Cave, complete with self-guided pathway and a small natural history display.
