Idaho Division of Tourism creates virtual tours

BOISE, Idaho — Idaho’s Division of Tourism says tours of Mother Nature’s most popular offerings in the state are now available online.

The agency’s Web site includes virtual tours of Bear Lake, Idaho Vineyard, City of Rocks, Pend Oreille, Redfish Lake, Salmon River and Teton Valley.

Agency administrator Karen Ballard says the interactive tours, some featuring the sounds of bird chirps and rushing water, will show off Idaho’s natural beauty to people unfamiliar with the state.

The tours were created by Boise-based company Regal 360, which was previously hired to make virtual tours of downtown Boise and the Bogus Basin recreation area.
