RV rental Pocatello, ID: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

If you want to feel as though you’ve traveled to a distant planet, look no further than the Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. Just to the west of town, this otherworldly landscape is just waiting to be explored. The site of a now dormant volcano, Craters is made up of ancient, hardened lava flows of blacks and dark reds that completely take over the landscape. You can go hiking through ancient cave systems and marvel in the geologic features all around you. The International Dark Sky Association has given International Dark Sky Park status to the park, meaning that the park not only has some of the darkest skies, thus allowing you to see so much of the night sky, but that they strive to spread awareness of the harmful effects of light pollution. Even farther west of Pocatello is Sawtooth National Forest . In the heart of Idaho, you’ll be able to hike along one of the countless trails that wind their way through the park. You’ll be treated to mountain views, stunning wildflowers, and crystal clear lakes. If you feel like challenging yourself, you can hike up, or even climb, some of these sturdy peaks and get one-of-a-kind views of Sawtooth Range and Boulder Range. If you’re looking for something a little more relaxing, you can spread out on the shores of Redfish Lake and soak up some sun or try your hand at some fishing or sailing. If you’re willing to leave the Gem State and give your Pocatello motorhome rental a little bit of road time, about two and a half hours away is Grand Teton National Park . With dramatic, high-reaching peaks, strong rivers, and roaming wildlife, Grand Teton is the wilderness of the American West left perfectly untouched. With almost 200 miles of trails, you can hike for a day, for a weekend, or for a week as you explore this dramatic landscape. Or, if you want a more relaxing way to reconnect with nature, you can go tubing down Snake River in the summer or find a prime campsite in the winter and enjoy some cross country skiing along the base of the mountains and curl up with some hot chocolate by the campfire at night.
