Idaho, the Movie is an Emmy Award-winning documentary featuring the well known and the hidden treasures of Idaho. An elemental theme carries viewers on a tour of the state's mountains, rivers, deserts, landscapes, lakes and more.
I wasn’t born in Idaho, but I got here as fast as I could. I drove out of Austin, Texas twenty-two years ago now. We wanted our children to grow up in a safer more inspiring and more wholesome world. We haven’t regretted a single day.
I'm blessed to live very close to Idaho. The drive from Spokane Washington going into Idaho is absolutely beautiful! I never tire of it. I've been to Idaho so many times from childhood to my 59 years of life. One of my aunts lived in Coeur d'Alene and our large family reunions were held at her every year for maybe 30 years. Like Eastern Washington, Idaho is getting a lot of people moving there from California and I hope they don't ruin the beauty of the State.
Bella, I am 61, and have wanted to live in N.Eastern Washington for 40 years. I wouldn't want to live in Spokane. My preference is north of there in Stevens or Ferry counties. And yes, hopefully California radical nuts don't take over N.East Washington, or Idaho.
Dang, you live in the best part in the northwest. There is no doubt that eastern WA and northen ID is a great place to live since the scenic, nature, landscape, two good cities (spokane and Couer d'alene), activities, etc... makes it great, entertaining, and fun.
Lol one of the nations “least known states” this did not age well. Currently the fastest growing state and over populated as hell now that everyone moved here.
All my life I dreamed of living in Montana a little over a year ago I moved to Idaho and really liked it but I couldn't get Montana out of my head. And then I had an opportunity to move to Montana and all I can think about is getting back to Idaho and the Sawtooth mountains! I leave tomorrow morning for Idaho 😉
I'm from Idaho! I have traveled all over the world and have never found s place like it. It's been my family's home for 160 years, my daughter is a 10th generation. I love Idaho so much and will always come home from anywhere and lay in the dirt and woods. It's my home it loves me. And we really do eat potatoes every day or few days. People have pointed it out to me in my travels lol
I traveled a lot while stationed in Germany and lived and traveled a lot in the US but, I have always said for the past forty ish years that my home state of Idaho (Sandpoint) is the most beautiful place on earth🙏❤️🙏
I grew up in Idaho both parts of the north and the south. I must be mental because during this movie I asked myself why did I ever leave? I felt totally at peace and in perfect zen. Thank you so very much!
Wow! Yet another beautiful picture of a state I knew almost nothing about... until this year. My only sister died on her motorbike on a curvy mountain highway in Idaho on July 18 of this year. . Since then, I have sought out the beauty of the state so it doesn't stay in my mind as ugly... because it is this state's ground, by no fault of its own, that soaked up the blood of one of the most precious people in my life. Maybe it is an exercise of forgiveness for a land so beautiful that it drew my sister back to it again. Thank you for such a beautiful video. Maybe one day I can come and visit... Ruby from Alberta Canada.
Growing up my friends dad who would bring me on rafting trips always said "live in Oregon, vacation in Idaho." After going on a 5 day rafting trip down the middle fork of the Salmon and numerous other mountains and hot springs I couldn't agree more
In 1974 I was stationed at Mt Home Air Force Base which is 49 miles S. E. of Boise. The jaw dropping beautiful scenery not to mention the hunting and fishing! Cried when I got sent to England. Will always have very fond memories of Idaho.
Idaho is my go to place when I need to get re-cenrered, my moment of Zen. I feel at home in any part of the state, people are some of the friendliest anywhere in all of the USA.
When I got the notification for this movie I was so elated! I needed to see it to know what I was looking forward to. My son just relocated to Idaho last year, bought a new home. I plan on visiting him in the summer and now because of this movie I have an idea on some of the places I definitely want to see. I have never left California in my 60 yrs. But now i just can't wait to do so😃 breathtaking ✨
My grandfather came to Idaho in the early 1900s as a child for his health from Oklahoma. My father, my self, my children and grandchildren have been born and raised here. I couldn't call anywhere else home. I LOVE her.. Central Idaho here.
I'm also a life-long resident,I left for a few year's but once you do that ya think I'm frickin crazy. Didn't take me long to come back home. The one thing I missed most were the people,generally nice people. Thanks Mr Woodward nicely done.
Therein lies the conundrum. Now that the secret's out, litterbugs are turning our beautiful state into a trash dump. From our perspective, this is a tragedy.
@alainportant6412 Actually, very few black people find their way here. It’s mostly the white youth of other states that come and don’t clean up after themselves.
Idaho is a wonderful place in USA. It is hard for me to watch 47 mins' movie regarding dunes, rivers, waterfalls, canyons, wild flowers, salmons, moose, swans, bears, eagles, sunrise, sunsets....uncountable natural things in this movie. Thank you so much for all the manpower of this movie production.
Epoch…such a beautiful and well made movie of a beautiful country called Idaho. I was enthralled from the first views, the voice of Idaho, the breath taking sky, the clear waters, and the ambiance of the green lush rolling hills. I can’t wait to visit…
Being from Brazil i have seen a lot of natural beauty, and I have to agree that Idaho is definitely a beauty. I have only been there once, in the southern end of the state. I want to explore a lot more, perhaps even call it home after I retire in 7 years. Specially after watching this wonderful movie. Thanks for sharing.
I have read Tim Woodward for years and he has always come up with interesting and unique perspectives of Idaho and life itself. This was a perfect crowning jewel film to capture much of Idaho and what it can offer. I have visited many of the places in this film, but this makes me want to go and see them again. I thank Tim and all who helped make this film. Excellent!
What a great video! I grew up in beautiful New Zealand & in the late 90's made my home in Idaho's Caribou Highlands. I'm 71yrs old work outside year round & every day I'm amazed with the beauty I get to live in & work in.
I was born and raised in Southern Idaho on the Snake River. I was happy there, but after I graduated from HS and spend a semester at ISU, I got wanderlust and started traveling here and there, California, British Columbia, Mexico, Guatemala, etc. I would have returned to Idaho after those adventures, but I'd met a man in Arizona and had fallen in love, so I stayed there and finished my education at ASU. The relationship didn't last long, and I've tried to come back to Idaho a few times, but it was a hassle to get an Idaho license in my field, so I went back to AZ for work, but I went home every summer for 2 weeks did a fair amount of traveling with a camera during that time. I saw all the parts of Idaho I'd never seen before as I had the money to do so. I've rafted all the major rivers and done a fair amount of hiking as well. I was planning to move back when I retired, but my Dad and Mom had passed before I could, so I'm still in Arizona and missing Idaho. I'm retired now and would love to come back, but I've got some physical problems that have impaired my movement, so moving would be difficult. Now that the Californians have invaded Boise where my siblings live, it's not the place. My brother said it's not at all what it used to be and that it's expensive and crowded. . That is sad. Boise used to be a friendly, fun place to live and I love Eagle and the River there and bike trails. So maybe one day I'll get back, or I'll end up in another place entirely. Loved the documentary and the video. Thanks for sharing that. 🌲🌲🌲
I have lived several places in this country( temp jobs in my field) and am currently retired in WA and plan to move to Idaho panhandle this year. If I may, I wanted t speak to your physical limitations.I have great news. It is not yet widely known amongst the public, but a massive leap in quality of healthcare is coming. To begin with” Med Beds” in the US will be managed by the military. You can research. These will be FREE sessions for all. Other bed -style advanced technologies , with different names and different manufactures will also be coming in. Some are already here , but too expensive. Germany has “ Med Pods” in use. Within the next couple of years, far far far superior to Med Beds ini quality, range of functions, safety, and speed will be “ Celestial Chambers” made ONLY by Jared Rand , in Colorado. If curious, much info is available on www.weareonelightforall.net , at top page, click “ interviews”. Either way, the healthcare industry , which has actually been dark controlled, will be moving massively forward .Pharmaceuticals will phase out as they will no longer be needed. And that whole industry has been horribly corrupt anyway. You will see.
Spectacular. As part of our plans to see all 50 states, we had thoughts of going, then plans to go. It took 7 years and it was absolutely worth every moment. My husband and I rented a cabin outside of Harrison from a couple in Coeur D'Alene and made the trip from San Antonio, TX with our five Australian Shepherds. Along with a beautiful 4 day stay in Estes Park and some great days and nights in Montana it was a life altering experience. "Idaho is what America was" is the truest slogan, at least for the North Idaho we experienced. There was more later to that trip, including an epic stay in South Dakota and stops in Nebraska and Kansas. Idaho, though, remains the jewel of the journey in our hearts.
I want to thank you for such a through state wide video with real information. Idaho and Washington are the only 2 western states that I haven't visited. I plan to be there next year. Kinda funny that I watched a video yesterday on the 10 most boring states in the U.S. Idaho was on the list. I knew a lot about Idaho already and thought the jerks rating it was city dwellers who can't function without a coffee shop every 1/2 mile. Excellent video sir.👍
I love Idaho! And it is diverse and amazing! But, I have discovered amazing beauty in every state. I have family up there, and I always look forward to visiting ❤
I am not from the US but I have watched so many documentaries on your beautiful country,so many states with breathtaking beauty..it is not easy to choose one but if I could choose any state to live in it would be Idaho hands down! I loved this thank you so much!! Gods love and peace be with you.
It's been a long time Tim. I remember you and your family. My grandma Alice Vetter lived next door to you for quite a few years. It's good to see you again even if it's on RU-vid. I'm Rebecca.
i beg to differ, though it is beautiful, one of my fav, but it is a land that was built on genocide and many of the cities were built on native american sacred burial grave sites
@@johnadams5245 you are lying to yourself if you think any other country is any different, every corner of the Earth has seen War, Genocide and murder. It’s no different here than any other European or Asian country that has wiped out total populations of people to build their cities.
@@johnadams5245 This history of how Native Americans have been treated across this country is a sordid tale. Sadly, this is true in many states in the U.S.
Natural wonders but no mention of the culture and environment degregstion and the protection of criminal and antidemocracy groups and the nuclear legacy - an incomplete story - a puff piece
Born and raised in the northern part of Idaho since 1969. The best time to live in this area was in the 80s and the previous decades before then. The population boom to this state started in the early 90s and when California started to self-destruct, it got worse, especially during Covid. The migration to the state since 2020 has been crazy. When I travel to some of the rural areas of Idaho, it’s still like a time capsule but, the Post Falls/Coeur d’Alene area in the northern part of the state has definitely changed.
This is a great movie. It inspires mis to see more of what we have not seen and return to the fabulous places we have been to. Good talking to you Tom & Bill today. Thanks for the heads up on this!
What a beautiful story and absolute show of love for Idaho! Thank you so much! Idaho is where i was born and raised and one day will move back to. Thank you so very much for this very heart warming movie. You myself and everyone living there or have are the luckiest people ever!
This is an excellent documentary. I met Mr. Woodward many years ago after moving here. It was an event called, The Best (1991 or 1992). I mentioned to him that my maiden name is Woodward. I hope he does more documentaries. Thanks for sharing.

Such a beautiful place. We've spent a lot of time there, love the northern part if the state, but as shown in your video..it's ALL Beautiful! My Sister is moving from OR. to the spectacular state of ID. I can hardly wait to visit.
Much appreciated, MJ! If you enjoyed Idaho the Movie, check out our other scenic films - Idaho the Movie 2, Idaho from Above & The Rocky Mountain Fly Highway
Idaho is amazing!! Everything from desert to prestine mountains! We have some incredible canyons and big lakes, and the stars here are incredible especially up high in the mountains! Lived here for 31 years (Utah native), and like you said something new everytime you go for a drive. The boise area where im from is an amazing area! (Other than the current housing market situation haha)
Now and then, I Google Earth my birth place of Allen Park Michigan. Then I Google Earth my local Idaho area I've been in for the last 45 years, the best thing I ever did was settle down here. As a small plane pilot, I get asked if I've been up to Alaska, I say, no, I haven''t seen all of Idaho yet. One flight, I flew non stop from over Mount Borah, to a point in the north part of the state, the highest and lowest points!

@@tvwideeye The eastern edge of Jotunheimen then east and south has woodland valleys and mountains that are similar. Just smaller and, I think, steeper. East Norway is like a snow globe model of the Rockies. Well, certain parts of it anyway.
Well take at look.at my video's and see the solar power supply for living off grid. Also I have a gas generator back up for extra cloudy weeks. I pump water from a natural spring on the Mountain too. I had to build roads . Preserve the water shed and begin reforestation digging ponds by hand.
I loved your video. I dreamed about a place thinking it was in Idaho. I wonder if I described it you would know where it is. Thanks for sharing the beauty!
A gorgeous state--such an incredible diversity of landscapes. Profoundly tragic that so many wolves will no longer get to roam across that spectacular wilderness. Thus, I don't visit Idaho.
Once the wolves enter The Frank Church Wilderness in Idaho, there will be no stopping them. It is a place set aside for them and all other animals. Idaho has set more land away for future generations than any other state. I suppose you live in a city that has eradicated all of the native species.
Idaho contains more contiguous wilderness than any of the other 48 lower states. These are places where man is a visitor and where animals, like wolves, can thrive.

@@tvwideeye You're very welcome Mam. I adore the stunning landscapes the USA offers, it has so much beauty within its National Parks! Wish I was there. Before seeing this video I have always wanted to see this state amongst many others I'd love to visit. MOntana's Glacier National Park is one of them too.
I grew up in Colorado then Wyoming became my HOME & eventually went to Alaska for 15 years 🌌. I KEPT WANTING TO GO, & maybe move, TO IDAHO🚵♀️ but Brain Cancer put a halt on my life. I had my surgery in Seattle in 2005 & stayed in Alaska until 2018 & left for health. 🐾❤🐾
I'm glad you don't know much about IDAHO and the places that make it great. The Salmon river canyon is a mile deep for 180 miles. The first nuclear power plant in the world is hear. You just missed so many things, i could write a couple books about it. Because i was born and have lived here for 60 something years and have enjoyed what us here. Places like the River of No Return Wilderness, Caribou City, Lolo pass, our Seaport and on and on. Thank you.
