If skiing or tubing is your idea of winter fun, Bogus Basin is just a short drive away, and heading to McCall makes a fun weekend getaway. ... AND RIVERS Not only are we surrounded by the Payette and Boise rivers, Idaho is also home to the deepest gorge in North America: Hells Canyon. Take that, Arizona!

Here are some additional reasons Emmett and The Gem State are great. WE’VE GOT SUNSHINE On average, we have 210 sunny days per year.

DONUTS VS. DOUGHNUTS The first Friday in June is National Doughnut Day, a tradition that dates back to World War I and the women who volunteered abroad on behalf of the Salvation Army.They provided food and supplies to soldiers on the front lines, and getting creative with the ingredients they had on hand, innovative volunteers made doughnuts for the soldiers, earning themselves the nickname of Doughnut Lassies. National Doughnut Day was started by the Salvation Army in 1938 to commemorate the efforts of these volunteers.
You may know the delicious treat better as “donut,” a spelling that originated in the 1920s when one doughnut company was looking to
market their product abroad. No matter how you spell it, though, most can agree that these sweet circles of heaven taste just as delicious.
Enjoy a doughnut from your favorite local bakery this month — just be sure to brush your teeth after!
