Get your day going with some cherished diner favorites at Chuckwagon Restaurant before exploring Pocatello’s City Creek Trail System—perfect for hiking or mountain biking (fall is a great time to peep autumnal colors along your route). Recharge with lunch at Portneuf Valley Brewing before choosing your preferred water adventure: a soothing soak in the world-famous Lava Hot Springs or taking a plunge on the water slides at Lava Hot Springs Olympic Swimming Complex. Cap off the day with dinner at the Portneuf Grille & Lounge and then settle in at The Lava Hotel.

Round up some breakfast at Minnetonka Market & Cafe in St. Charles before setting out on a spelunking adventure at Minnetonka Cave. Keep the cave theme going by grabbing take-out at the Bear Cave and then heading to Bear Lake State Park for a picnic and enjoying the variety of water activities—from swimming and boating to fishing. After your day of fun, sit down to the delectable surf-and-turf options available at Cooper’s Restaurant & Sports Bar, where you can enjoy views of Bear Lake and the adjacent golf course. When it’s time to lie down, rest easy at Super 8 by Wyndham in Montpelier.
