Hike the Owyhee Canyon Rim
Because of the Owyhee Wilderness isolation, there are very few access points that would not require a 4x4 vehicle to reach it's flanks. In addition, motorized vehicles are not allowed within the boundaries of the wilderness area, therefore you must hike (or float) into the area's boundaries. There are several spectacular locations that you could check out from these access points, but I'm going...

From there it's a short scramble up the hill to get to the base -- that's the only way to get a feel for the boulder's enormity.
Just a half-mile east down the road is Balanced Rock Park, with a few well-maintained campgro...
Photograph Balanced Rock at Night
Southern Idaho offers a lot of unique places to go photograph, but not all places have as good of a spot for astrophotography as Balanced Rock State Park does. Because this spot is quite a ways out from the towns, you don't have a lot of light pollution which allows you to see all of the stars in the sky.
Balanced Rock itself is a unique formation which gives the photo an interesting subject, w...
