If there is a place known as the heart of the state of Idaho, the City of Jerome is probably close to it. Sitting in the deep center of the state, Jerome is considered a bedroom community for the larger city of Twin Falls, but Jerome has a strong economy of its own as the mid-point of travel across the state.
Those moving to Jerome with kids will appreciate the multitude of parks, including a skateboard park. Those who like fossils will love the nearby Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument, which contains one of the world's best deposits of 500,000-year-old horse fossils. The park also contains a part of the Oregon Trail National Historic Trail, which still shows ruts from the wagon wheels. Other parks in the area include the Balanced Rock site, Bruneau Dunes State Park, the Craters of the Moon Park, and the Box Canyon State Park. All of these locations offer some amazing natural resources for hiking, day-visits, camping, and wilderness trekking. There are also some amazing nearby sites like the Shoshone Falls and Ice Caves and the Thousand Springs Falls.
