Idaho is the land of wilderness and the state motto is rightfully “Esto perpetua”
(Let it be perpetual). Its tranquil environment threaded with rocky mountains and whitewater rivers gives it a serene quality. Washington and Oregon are located to the west, whereas Montana and Wyoming are on the Eastern end of the state.
