So true!
May and June are some of the best times to experience Southern Idaho’s incredible high desert landscapes at City of Rocks National Reserve and Castle Rocks State Park - just under an hour drive from Burley.
Cool mornings, green valleys, wildflowers, and comfortable temperatures make this the perfect season for hiking, climbing, sightseeing, photography, camping, or simply slowing down and enjoying the scenery.
Make a weekend out of it by staying in one of the area’s unique yurts or booking a stay at the Almo Inn or City of Rocks RV. Whether you’re an experienced climber, an adventurous family, or someone just looking for a peaceful getaway, there’s something special waiting in the shadows of these iconic rock formations.
Southern Idaho adventure season is here.
