The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation has established an official blog for the Idaho Centennial Trail. The Idaho Centennial Trail is a 900-mile trail that winds the length of Idaho from Murphy Hot Springs on the Idaho-Nevada border to the Upper Priest River on the Idaho-British Columbia border. The trail is used for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and motorcycle/ATV riding. The new blog will keep you up to date on trail conditions and activities; everyone is invited to post trail information and photos to the blog.

Roller coaster fans now have another reason to visit the Northwest's largest theme park - the amazing metal coaster Aftershock is now open at Silverwood Theme Park. Aftershock has everything you want for thrills, including high speed, an inverted loop, backwards travel, and a cobra roll. Riders hang from the tracks, reaching up to 4.5 Gs as they ascend to heights over 190 feet and speeds over 65 miles per hour. Sounds like fun, huh?
