Idaho has so much to offer in the outdoors. We have more hot springs than most states and some nice and close to the Boise area. One of the most popular and stellar hot springs nearby is Kirkham.
According to Bloomberg, Idaho is home to over 130 soakable hot springs. These are seven that are an extremely doable day trip from the Treasure Valley.

Since 2008, the Bureau of Land Management has looked into 137 negative incidents in the popular hot springs destination. Beginning Tuesday, the pools could be closed for at least five years.
