@earthtosarah: Hidden away in the desert, this island is breathtaking. If you’re in Idaho, don’t miss out on paddling around this island! Don’t forget to follow along to discover the most unique places around Idaho and all around the west. 📍 Thousand Springs State Park has a visitor center located in Hagerman, Idaho where you can find all the information you need on accessing this water. I also have a blog to guide you on this road trip, let me know if you’d like it! 🗺️ This specific waterfall and blue water river is flowing all around Ritter Island. The water is very cold but so gorgeous!!! The island itself closes after Labor Day, but you can still hike near the waterfall and paddle! It reopens Memorial Day. Leave no trace always. No trash ever left behind! Be kind to those around you. It can get busy down here on popular days! Kayak and swim here but beware; the water is freezing cold! Stay safe and happy trails. 💙 Fall colors are gorgeous here! *Idaho state parks cost $7 to visit for the day. You can see all of them nearby all for the one day pass! Locals can get the $10 state park pass for all of Idaho at the dmv too. #idaho #uniqueplaces #idahome #visitidaho #usatravel
