Eastern Idaho Is Worth the Trip
St. Anthony sits at the center of some of the most spectacular outdoor scenery in the American West. When your family comes to The Burland, they are not just attending a reunion. They are stepping into a region full of adventures, landmarks, and memories waiting to happen.
Yellowstone National Park
America's first national park is practically in your backyard. Old Faithful, the Grand Prismatic Spring, bison herds, wolves, and geysers around every bend. For families traveling from out of town, a day trip to Yellowstone turns a reunion into a full adventure. The west entrance at West Yellowstone is the closest, and the drive through Island Park is one of the most scenic routes in the region.
Mesa Falls
Upper Mesa Falls drops 114 feet over ancient volcanic rock, making it one of the most dramatic waterfalls in the American West. A short, accessible boardwalk trail leads your whole family, including grandparents and young kids, directly to the viewing platform. The Mesa Falls Scenic Byway is a 28-mile drive through the Caribou-Targhee National Forest that is worth the trip on its own. Plan an hour or two and bring a camera.
St. Anthony Sand Dunes
Right in your own backyard, the St. Anthony Sand Dunes are one of Idaho's most unexpected natural wonders. Miles of white sand dunes stretch across the high desert, drawing ATVers, sandboarders, hikers, and families looking for something different. Kids go absolutely wild here. It is one of those places that surprises first-time visitors every single time, and it is only minutes from The Burland.
Fishing on Henry's Fork
St. Anthony sits right on the Henry's Fork of the Snake River, one of the most celebrated fly fishing rivers in North America. Whether your family has seasoned anglers or first-timers, the rivers and reservoirs surrounding St. Anthony offer some of the best trout fishing in the country. Island Park Reservoir, Ashton Reservoir, and Henry's Lake are all within easy reach for a morning on the water before heading back to the reunion.
Hiking and Outdoor Adventures
The Caribou-Targhee National Forest surrounds the region with hundreds of miles of trails ranging from easy walks to full-day mountain hikes. The Ashton-Tetonia Trail is a popular rail-to-trail conversion perfect for walking, biking, and taking in the scenery at a slower pace. For bigger adventures, the Teton Range is just an hour away, with views that will stop your whole family in their tracks.
