Of the hundreds of comments we've received on the Idaho Bucket List we published last week, two things are abundantly clear: Idahoans are passionate about their state, and 75 simply isn't enough to create a complete bucket list.

In all honesty, we knew both of those things going into the project.

The three things most-suggested that we didn't include in the original bucket listwere to visit Priest Lake, summit Mt. Borah, and soak in Lava Hot Springs.

We rounded up many of the suggestions you sent us, and have 35 more things to add to the Idaho bucket list!
