Life At Idaho Colleges
Mining and lumbering have been the most important industry in Idaho since Europeans settled nearly two hundred years ago (not long after Lewis and Clark passed through). Idaho still ranks high among the states in silver, antimony, lead, cobalt, garnet, phosphate rock, vanadium, zinc, and mercury. Agriculture is also a major industry: The state produces about one fourth of the nation's potato crop, as well as wheat, apples, corn, barley, sugar beets, and hops. Idaho Universities and Opportunities
As mentioned, the 1990s saw a remarkable growth in the high technology industries, concentrated in the metropolitan Boise area. Companies come to Boise because of the favorable taxes and because of the beautiful surrounding country. Idaho Attractions
With the growth of winter sports, tourism now outranks other industries in revenue. Idaho's many streams and lakes provide fishing, camping, and boating sites. The nation's largest elk herds draw hunters from all over the world, and the famed Sun Valley resort attracts thousands of visitors to its swimming, golfing, and skiing facilities. Points of interest are the Craters of the Moon National Monument; Nez Perc? National Historic Park, which includes many sites visited by Lewis and Clark; and the State Historical Museum in Boise. Other attractions are the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area south of Boise, Hells Canyon on the Idaho-Oregon border, and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area in south-central Idaho.
