  Biking Idaho
  by Chris McGill

  Great wheels of fire! Summertime may have multiple meanings, but for a lot of Idaho bicycling enthusiasts, it means the Wells Fargo Twilight Criterium–a July race in downtown Boise that attracts top national cycling talent. In this feature (which also tells about other competitive events and recreational bike trails statewide), see how a native Idahoan aspires to win this year’s men’s division race at the Criterium.

  by Angela Nielson

  Classic Mack’s Inn
  by Lynna Howard

  Mack’s Inn is an old-time eastern Idaho resort with its own spot on the map. Yet the 89-year-old resort is actually within the city of Island Park. What’s the difference between the two entities? Our writer looks in the history of Mack’s Inn, its legal status and what makes it tick. Mack’s Inn may well be a state of mind.
