Mustangs are a symbol of our western tradition; yet they are often reviled, as they compete for resources with livestock and wildlife in an ever changing environment impacted by range fire and drought. Thousands end up in holding corrals far from home, never to return. Outdoor Idaho takes a look at what is happening to the mustang herds in Idaho and beyond.
Positioned between glamorous Sun Valley and desolate Craters of the Moon, the Pioneer Mountains are, for many, just a blank spot on the map. We explore the low lands and the highest peaks of Idaho's second highest mountain range, with a rich history and diverse wildlife that will both inspire and intrigue.
For many, the Pios are just a blank spot on the map. But to geologists, the mountain range represents complexity. Climbers seek out the high peaks of Idaho’s second highest mountain range. And in the winter, energetic skiers enjoy perfect snow conditions near 12,000 foot Hyndman peak.
Not everyone works inside four walls. For some, the great outdoors is their office. Some pick this type of work to improve the environment or to celebrate history. Others see it as a way to help people or to bring joy to a whole country. Outdoor Idaho: “Jobs Without Walls” profiles five extraordinary Idahoans who make a difference.
This hour-long special revisits some of the scenic wonders we’ve uncovered in 35 years. We also take viewers behind the scenes, and we remember the folks who have shared their stories with us over the years. We’ve changed a lot in three and a half decades. Of course, who hasn’t? Welcome to our 35th Anniversary Special!
We profile some places -- like the Yankee Fork, the Blackfoot, Curlew National Grassland, the Kootenai and the Portneuf -- where we're working With nature, instead of against her, to restore waterways.
