Talk[edit]

As in the rest of Idaho, English is the main language and the only language travelers can be assured of not encountering any difficulty with. However, Spanish is widely spoken by a significant Hispanic minority throughout the region. Many people from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union have been brought in by a refugee center operated by the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls, creating a community of Russian and Bosnian speakers.

Do[edit]

A highlight of this area is the scenery far to the south of I-84 that includes unique geological formations that have been set aside in the City of Rocks National Reserve and Castle Rocks State Park, both part of the Albion Mountains. A good way to do this is by taking the City of Rocks Backcountry Byway, which is described in more detail on the Burley city page.
