This place is one of the most unique roadside attractions I've ever visited -- and yes, it's literally right off the highway at the North Blackfoot Rest Area. What looks like a simple pit stop turns into a jaw-dropping walk across ancient volcanic rock. The lava field was created over 4,000 years ago from an eruption tied to the same hotspot that formed Yellowstone National Park. The paved trail loops through jagged black rock, lava tubes, and deep fissures that make you feel like you've stepped onto another planet. It's quiet, beautiful, and surprisingly peaceful -- a total contrast to the chaos of the interstate. There are educational signs along the path that explain how the lava formed, which makes it both fun and fascinating. This stop is free, easy to access, and perfect for stretching your legs on a long drive. Whether you're into geology, photography, or just love weird natural wonders, Hell's Half Acre is 100% worth the stop. Idaho's landscapes will totally surprise you! https://linktr.ee/reessroots

While I knew of Idaho National Laboratory, I was not familiar with this awesome free museum or our nations first nuclear reactor and the small town down the road that was the first to have all electricity supplied from a nuclear power plant! They have done an amazing job maintaining the reactor as a museum and have both a guided or self guided tour to enjoy learning a bit more about EBR-1. This is off the beaten path and I stumbled on it while I was going to see Craters of the Moon National Park. It was just a short way off the highway and couldn't pass up the opportunity to check it out, what's a little time when already well off the beaten path in this part of Idaho?! Small parking lot out front, bathrooms on second floor. There are a number of stairs to get to the top of the reactor and then down into the basement to check out the bottom to consider if traveling with limited mobility guests. If you are in the area, definitely worth checking out this bit of history!

The staff there was very laid back and kind when we arrived and the history of the site is explained in a pretty engaging way. You can download your own walking tour if you want to listen to the audio, which we did and found it very helpful. I would liken it to alcatraz's self -guided tour. I really appreciate it when they use storytelling to kind of bring locations to life. It's amazing how groundbreaking this place was in the development of a nuclear power and the exhibits are all really well put together in educational without being too scientific or overwhelming. It was really neat and informative and it is definitely worth a stop if you're passing through.
