Blackfoot River
River · Bingham County
Idaho
"An ancient, clear river whose frosted banks and granite-strewn edges offer vivid sensory moments—first frost on the bank, distant campfire smoke, and the crunch of tires or hooves—framed by the Swan Range and a landscape frequented by wolves, bears, mountain lions, lynx, coyotes, elk and moose. The waterway is steeped in history, long followed by Shoshone, Flathead and Pend d’Oreille peoples as it winds eastward toward Idaho and Oregon and eventually the Pacific, making it both a scenic backdrop for outdoor activities and a conduit of regional natural and cultural heritage." - Chris Colin
