A quiet stop in downtown Idaho Falls, this library offers free Wi-Fi and comfortable sofas. It’s a great place to take a break, read a poem, or even write something about your ride.

Just next to the historic marker you can explore an ancient lava tube: the 17 Mile Cave. The marker gives interesting information about hunters in the area that hunted camels, elephants and giant bisons about 12,000 years ago.

Palisades Creek rushes out of Upper and Lower Palisades Creek and is home for several species of trout. The Palisades Creek Trail runs along and takes you the two scenic alpine lakes nestled in the Palisades Creek Canyon.

Palisades Creek Campground is an idyllic place for hiking, fishing and recreation. It is nestled in the Palisades Creek Canyon and offers picnic tables, toilets and drinking water. It operates on a first come, first served-base and is open from May. There are five single units and two double units. Fees per night range from 12 Dollars for a single unit to 24 Dollars for a double unit. It a located next to the trailhead for the popular Palisades Creek Trail that leads to Lower and Upper Palisades Lake.

The Hells Half Acre Wilderness Study Area spans over 66,000 acres and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The lava field that covers the area is 5,200 years old. It is a great place to hike and you will most likely be on your own – much different from the crowds in nearby Craters of the Moon National Monument. There is a 2-mile loop trail, the Lava Loop, and you can also venture into the backcountry via the Twentymile Lava Trail to some interesting lava vents. There is not much of a trail though. You are mostly hiking over petrified lava rock and you have to navigate by looking for the next wooden pole. A great little adventure!

Like so many caves around it, the The 17 Mile Cave is a lava tube and a relic from Idahoe's volcanic past (although the area is still very active). They are formed when eruptions cause a lava crust to form, cool down and allow lava to flow through again. Its name comes from the proximity to the town of Idaho Falls. The tube is around a quarter mile long. The entrance is located directly on the West Arco Highway and is accessible to everyone. This is probably one of the reasons why this fantastic natural monument has fallen victim to modern cave "paintings". If you're ever in the area, make sure you bring several light sources and a jacket. It's really cool in there.

The Japanese Friendship Garden is located on a rocky island in the Snake River in Idaho Falls. It was made by volunteers to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the association between Idaho Falls and its sister city of Tokai-Mura. The garden creates a Japanese atmosphere in the middle of Idaho, with the Japanese architecture, small water streams, a deck and a platform. It is a small space, and not ideal for a bike, but if you want to pass by to visit, you can go walking with your bike.

The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho (TAM) displays art exhibitions, showcases, and displays artworks of local Idaho artists and non-local, promoting different art educational opportunities to people of all ages. The entrance goes from $2 to $10, depending on the age or group, and it’s free on the first Saturday of the month and for kids under 5 years old.
