Let Luie Boone paint you a picture. You think Idaho, you think dust, right? Sagebrush. Cacti. Maybe a tumbleweed or two for ambiance. Wrong. The Idaho Panhandle apparently didn't get that memo. The most unique thing about this place is how different it feels from the rest of the state. While much of Idaho is known for high desert and wide-open plains, the Panhandle is a completely different world: lush, green, and heavily forested.
