I did not spend a lot of time in Idaho, but my time there was very pleasant. Our Airbnb for our trips to Grand Tetons and Yellowstone was in Alta, Wyoming, which is just outside Driggs, Idaho. We went to quite a few restaurants in Driggs, all of which were surprisingly awesome.
Obviously, Idaho is also known for its potatoes. The Idaho Potato Museum is something I came across while I was planning my trip and it seemed so ridiculously funny that I had to work it in. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT.
After parking outside the museum, we were greeted by a giant baked potato right out from. Perfect for picture taking. With the $4 price of admission, we received a free carton of hash browns. I spent an additional $45 at their gift shop. “On what” you ask? Well, a keychain, a magnet, six postcards and two matching Idaho Potato Museum t-shirts (one for me and one for Brandon.) I already told Brandon that we’ll be wearing them on our day in Magic Kingdom in August.
The Idaho Potato Museum’s cafe is nothing short of perfection. They offer baked potatoes with a topping of the day. Monday, when we were present, was cheddar and broccoli and it was delicious. They also sell potato ice cream - vanilla ice cream, shaped like a potato and rolled in cocoa powder, sliced down the middle, topped with whipped cream, crushed Oreos and peanuts. It looked exactly like a damn baked potato.
We also took a brief stop in Twin Falls, Idaho for Shoshone Falls Park. It was a pretty low key spot with few tourists, but a gorgeous sight.
