Destinations / North America

Some family travelers prefer to visit tropical destinations in spring to escape lingering cold temperatures, peak season prices and big summer crowds. This spring, however, family travelers are invited to Idaho to embrace the end of cold season through outdoor exploration and natural hot springs.

 

Idaho is home to a variety of state parks, hiking and biking trails, and 130 natural hot springs, making it the perfect destination to embrace the last months of the winter cold.

McCall, Idaho, is a hidden gem destination for travelers looking to soak up the final days of snow at an affordable price and with easy access to a variety of natural springs. Relaxing in a hot spring surrounded by snow is a popular pastime in McCall, and there are some can’t-miss spots families should check out.

 

Situated on a beautiful lake and surrounded by snow-covered mountains, Shore Lodge invites guests to soak in private manmade hot springs and two heated saltwater immersion pools surrounded by tall pines and mountain air.

For those looking for a natural option, Shore Lodge is a quick drive from Burgdorf, Gold Fork and Trail Creek hot springs. Each offers a unique setting for travelers to embrace their surroundings and melt their winter blues away.

 

Additionally, guests at Shore Lodge have easy access to other outdoor activities such as hiking at Ponderosa State Park, spring skiing at Brundage and Tamarack, mountain biking trails, and more.
