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.

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.
