Bannock County, Idaho
Bannock County sits in southeastern Idaho, straddling the line between mountains and high desert. Pocatello, the county seat, calls itself the “Gateway to the Northwest”. It’s home to Idaho State University and a surprising amount of cultural diversity for Idaho.
The Portneuf River Valley cuts through the heart of the county. Locals joke about the persistent winds. Old Town Pocatello has a charming, slightly faded vibe. The county has deep Native American roots, with the Fort Hall Reservation nearby.
Lava Hot Springs brings in tourists looking to soak away their troubles. Outdoor recreation is huge here. Hiking, fishing, and skiing are practically required hobbies. The area’s history is tied to railroads and agriculture. These days, healthcare and education are big employers.
