Within its borders, Idaho is a land of extremes. From desert moonscape to towering peaks that spawn a thousand rivers; from urban sprawl to places scarcely trod by humankind. It's a young land, where antiques are only fifty years old. Its mountains are so young they periodically remind us of their growing pains. Much of Idaho is best described as, "You can't get there from here." We are as back woods as it gets where we touch the Canadian border, and in our capital city, as urbane as we wish to be.
