First we must define a landmark. It is:

  1. An object or feature of a landscape or town that enables someone to establish their location.
  2. An event, discovery, or change marking an important stage or turning point in something.

Which these definitions we can designate some landmarks in Idaho.

  1. Big Southern Butte - 300,000-year-old butte towers 2,500 feet above eastern Snake River Plain. Once served as geographic landmark for passing wagon trains. (National Natural Landmark)
  2. Big Springs - Source of South Fork of Henry's Fork River. Only first magnitude spring in U.S. issuing from rhyolitic lava flows. Out-pour so great full-grown river is underway within hundred feet of springs. (National Natural Landmark)
  3. City of Rocks - Vast display of towering granite rocks. Some of the oldest formations found in continental U.S. Fantastic shapes created by weathering. Once important landmark on California Trail. (National Natural Landmark)
  4. Great Rift System
  5. Hagerman Fossil Beds
  6. Hells Half Acre Lava Field
  7. Hobo Cedar Grove Botonical Area

well, let's see.. Idaho is a state with close to 150 years of rich history, some landmarks woudl be places where the ruts of wagons durign teh oregon trail still exist. The LDS build some prety magnifient temples, from an architectural standpoint. There is Boise's Egyptian theatre, which incorporates Egyptian art and architecture. Taht is a place where artists perform, and concerts adn stuff... in fact, losts of cool stuf is in Boise. In pocatello, there is a sculpture outside of the college. I'm not sure what it is, but ive driven past it, and think it might be abstract. mesa falls, shoshone falls, and hells canyon are some good natural wonders, and there are falls in Idaho Falls that are man made and 50 feet tall. (I know this because I live in Idaho falls, which is in the middle of Idaho) if you're not sure where the towns are, you can look them up on Google maps.
