As a lifelong Idahoan, I thought I had seen most of what my home state had to offer, but it wasn’t until I got into photography that I really began to appreciate its beauty. There are so many things to photograph here, from amazing waterfalls to majestic mountains to the awe-inspiring night skies. People say I’m crazy for waking up so early, but witnessing the sun rise over Idaho’s breathtaking landscape is well worth the alarm going off before dawn.

Here’s a look at some of the most Instagram-worthy gems I’ve discovered while on my Idaho explorations and this is clearly just the beginning.
