Map Details and Information
Boise
Most of the metropolitan area lies on a broad, relatively flat plain. Mountains rise up to the northeast, stretching from the far southeastern tip of the Boise city limits to nearby Eagle. These mountains are known to locals as the Boise foothills and are sometimes described as the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. About 34miles (55km) southwest of Boise, and about 26miles (42km) southwest of Nampa, the Owyhee Mountains lie entirely in neighboring Owyhee County.
Idaho Falls
Idaho Falls is the largest city in the Eastern Idaho region. Idaho Falls is the principal city of, and is included in, the Idaho Falls, Idaho Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is included in the Idaho Falls-Blackfoot, Idaho Combined Statistical Area. Idaho Falls is the third-largest metropolitan area in the state behind the Boise City-Nampa and Coeur d'Alene metropolitan areas. It is the largest metropolitan area of the Eastern Idaho region.
Pocatello
Pocatello is the fourth-largest city in the state and the second largest city in the Eastern Idaho region, after Idaho Falls. In 2007, Pocatello was ranked number twenty on Forbes' list of Best Small Places for Business and Careers.
Stanley
Stanley has cold winters and mild summers. Even in the middle of July, it is not uncommon for the low temperature to approach freezing. An Associated Press article referred to Stanley as "routinely the coldest place in the lower 48 states
Sun Valley
Among skiers, the term "Sun Valley" refers to the alpine ski area, which consists of Bald Mountain, the main ski mountain, and Dollar Mountain, which is geared toward novice and lower intermediate skiers. Bald Mountain, or "Baldy," has a summit of 9150 feet (2789 m) and a vertical drop of 3400 feet (1036 m). With its abundance of constant-pitch terrain, at varying degrees of difficulty, coupled with its substantial vertical drop and absence of wind, Baldy has often been referred to as the best single ski mountain in the world. The treeless "Dollar" at 6638 feet (2023 m) has a moderate vertical drop of 628 feet (191 m).
