Canyon County, Idaho
Canyon County is Idaho’s agricultural heartland, sprawling across the western Snake River Plain. Nampa and Caldwell, the biggest towns, are evolving from sleepy farm communities into Boise suburbs.
You’ll see onion fields next to new subdivisions. The area is famous for its wineries. Folks call it the ‘Sunnyslope Wine Trail’. It’s not exactly Napa, but the views are nice. The Snake River forms the southern border, good for fishing and boating.
Summers are hot and dry. It’s perfect for growing crops, but it’s tough on people. There’s a big Latino population here, adding some spice to local culture. Rodeos are still a place to go here. So is the county fair.
