For 40 years Outdoor Idaho has been bringing beauty, nature, science and wonder into your living room. It’s time to look back on the legacy and look forward to the future. In this special celebration broadcast we’ll find out how Outdoor Idaho came to be, who made it the masterpiece that it is today and what we’re doing to ensure Idaho’s outdoor stories continue to be told.

Idaho’s Bitterroot Mountains define our state’s squiggly eastern border. Rugged, remote and hard to get to, the Bitterroot Mountains offer a challenge and reward. Outdoor Idaho’s “In the Shadow of the Bitterroots” will uncover the history, culture, recreation and science of the land. From sacred Nez Perce trails to the tallest peaks, this show will inspire curiosity about a unique mountain range.

Rodeo represents Western culture like no other sport and is deeply embedded into the lifestyles of those who surround it. There are more than a hundred rodeos in Idaho each year. Outdoor Idaho decided to go to several of them, big and small, to introduce you to some of Idaho’s best rodeo athletes and to give you a taste of the action. So, grab your Stetson and hang on for the ride.

Idaho’s unique landscape is home to fossils that can tell us about the area’s history and wildlife. Whether it’s dinosaur eggs or sharks, the fossils found in the state tell the story of what used to be here and what to expect moving forward. Outdoor Idaho takes a look back at what the state looked like millions of years ago, 10,000 years ago, and what remains today.

Rodeo and Western culture go hand in hand, and rodeo athletes and their families share a bond like no other sport. There are dozens of rodeos in Idaho every year. Outdoor Idaho attended several of them, big and small, to introduce you to some of Idaho’s finest to give you a taste of the action. So, get ready for a wild ride because “This is Rodeo.”
