GOOD CHEER Beer lovers, rejoice! Idaho is the world’s largest hop producer, and more and more people are taking advantage of our agricultural bounty by opening breweries in the Treasure Valley. Share a few of these treasures with visiting family members and their only question will be “How did we not come here sooner?” 1. Heat oven to 425 F. Toss asparagus with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on baking sheet and bake for 20–26 minutes, turning asparagus halfway through. 2. When asparagus is nearly done, heat remaining olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add breadcrumbs and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and fold in parsley and lemon zest. 3. Transfer asparagus to serving platter, drizzle with lemon juice, and top with breadcrumb mixture.

MOUNTAIN RANGES Surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, we don’t have to go far to find mountaintop winter activities. 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! Instructions

5 FUN FACTS
ABOUT IDAHO
We are giving away an all-inclusive seven-night MEXICAN RIVIERA CRUISE!
Many states have their claims to fame, and Idaho is no exception. We’ve managed to pick up acclaim for our stunning mountain views, skilled outdoorsman, unique celebrations, and sometimes, strange laws. Here’s a look at a bit of the history that’s made our state what it is today. 1. Since 1953, Weiser has been home to the National Old Time Fiddlers’ Contest & Festival.The event continues to draw huge crowds to Weiser each June. 2. We have President Roosevelt to thank for many of our national forests, including the Caribou-Targhee National Forest in southeast Idaho, right next to Yellowstone. 3. In Idaho, it’s illegal for one citizen to give another citizen a box of candy weighing more than 50 pounds. We did say it was strange, didn’t we? 4. Bruneau Sand Dunes is North America’s tallest sand dune. If you visit during the summer, be sure to stop at the Bruneau Dunes State Park Observatory to see the spectacular nighttime views through the park’s 25-inch telescope. 5. Sun Valley was the nation’s first destination ski resort. After it opened in 1936, the resort became a hot spot for artists and celebrities — including Ernest Hemingway, who eventually made Idaho his home.
