  Island Park
  by Elizabeth Laden

  Like quite a few Idaho towns (luckily), Island Park is surrounded by wild country. At any time of day or night, residents and visitors can look out their windows and see a moose wander by, or even a black or grizzly bear. Eagles and trumpeter swans fly overhead, and wildflowers brighten the landscape spring through fall. Needless to say, all of this makes it well worth a visit out east.
