For Abby Jerome and her family, some of the best memories are made packed into a car full of hiking gear, snacks, kids, and dogs headed toward the mountains of Idaho.

One of their favorite destinations is Bonneville Hot Springs near Lowman, Idaho—a place they continue to return to year after year no matter the season. Tucked away in the Boise National Forest, the trail offers the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and quality time together outdoors.

The trip itself has become part of the tradition. The car is always packed to the brim, and the excitement starts long before they reach the trailhead. Between backpacks, towels, dog leashes, and everything needed for the day, it’s a full family adventure from the moment they leave home.

The hike to Bonneville Hot Springs is one the family never seems to tire of. Surrounded by towering pine trees, fresh mountain air, and the sound of the nearby river, it’s the kind of place that encourages everyone to slow down and enjoy the moment.

No matter the weather, the hot springs always feel worth the hike. Some trips bring sunshine and warm afternoons, while others mean crisp mountain air and steam rising from the pools on colder days. Every visit feels a little different, but the memories made there remain the same.

For Abby and her family, it’s not just about reaching the hot spring, it’s about the time spent together along the way. The conversations during the drive, the dogs running ahead on the trail, and the laughter shared in the water are what keep bringing them back year after year.

Because sometimes the best Idaho adventures aren’t the biggest or most extravagant, they’re the traditions that become part of your family story.
