Idaho's Famous Giant Potato 🥔✨

Travel Highlight: The Idaho Potato Hotel Travel Lowlight: We couldn’t book a stay 😭 Even so—this place is undeniably cool! ❄️ Well, literally cool (and kinda cold 🥶), and also metaphorically cool. Tucked quietly in the middle of a vast, open plain, the giant potato stands like a surreal sculpture under the big Idaho sky. It’s quirky, unexpected, and very… Idaho. But real talk—it wasn’t the easiest spot to photograph 📸. The light can be harsh, the background is reaaaally flat (we’re talking epic plains energy 🌾), and there are only so many angles you can work with a giant potato. That said—it’s a memory, it’s a vibe, and it’s a story. Bonus activity alert! 🐄 We discovered you can self-feed little baby cows at a nearby potato farm—meet Dolly! She’s adorable, curious, and very gentle. There’s something special about connecting with animals right where your food comes from—plus, it made for some unexpectedly sweet photos. Even though we didn’t get to sleep inside the spud 🥔😴, just being there, touching it, laughing about it—it summed up road trip energy: sometimes the planned thing doesn’t work out, but the unplanned moments (like feeding Dolly) end up making the trip. 📸 Photo tips: Best during golden hour 🌅 (but we went at noon, so don’t be like us) Wear something that pops against the yellow/blue landscape 👒 Embrace the silliness—it’s a giant potato. Have fun with it! 🧺 If you go: Book months in advance if you actually want to stay Pack a jacket—it gets windy out there! Pair the visit with a trip to the nearby farm or Boise Not every landmark is glamorous. But it’s real, it’s weird, and it’s 100% worth the detour. #Idaho #GiantPotato #PotatoHotel #TravelIdaho #RoadTripVibes #HiddenGems #CCDPhotography #FlatAesthetic #AgriTourism #IdahoAdventures 🥔📮🚜💨
