If you thought Florida was the only state with alligators … you thought wrong. But don’t worry, I did too. Personally, I thought alligators would only be found in Idaho zoos, but apparently, they’re also at these amazing hot springs in Buhl, Idaho (just an hour and a half away).
Idaho has so much to offer in the outdoors. We have more hot springs than most states and some nice and close to the Boise area. One of the most popular and stellar hot springs nearby is Kirkham.
According to Bloomberg, Idaho is home to over 130 soakable hot springs. These are seven that are an extremely doable day trip from the Treasure Valley.
Two weeks ago when I tried to go for a day trip I was disappointed that they were still closed but according to their website Gold Forks Hot Springs will be reopening
