ISLAND PARK, Idaho—Are you the type of person who loves to go out and explore on vacation, or would you rather stay inside the cabin and curl up with a good book?

If either of those is your way to relax, Island Park, Idaho and West Yellowstone, Montana (about a 30-minute drive from Island Park), make the perfect weekend getaway.

This is such a sought-after vacation is because you can either go up for just a day or for multiple days, and never run out of things to do.

The first thing that is a favorite of tourists and locals is snowmobiling. If you don’t have your own machines, don’t worry, there are plenty of places to rent. One of those places is Island Park Adventures. They have rentals for winter fun, including snowmobile guides, and summer rentals as well. Exploring the great outdoors in some of the most beautiful country is one of the best experiences.

The second favorite attraction is to visit the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center. This is an activity that is fun for all ages. You get an up-close experience with some amazing animals. This attraction is open year-round and the bears here do not hibernate, so don’t fret about missing out on them.

The last thing to do is a favorite and that is to rent a cabin for the weekend. This cabin on Airbnb.com is perfect for a big group of people to get together and go out and play in the snow or relax together inside. Weekend escapes are just what everyone needs occasionally, and this cabin is just the place to do that. If this cabin doesn’t meet your needs, there are plenty of cabins in Island Park to choose from.

Keep in mind that these are only three things out of the many that Island Park has to offer! Island Park is a favorite vacation spot and hopefully will become one of yours as well!
