This Upcoming Fall Festival in Idaho Named One of the Best in USA
It takes about 8 hours to get from Central Washington to Sun Valley, Idaho, but if you love to travel for hours and hours or just need a memorable fall road trip, we think you might enjoy going to the Trailing of the Sheep Festival.
The Trailing of the Sheep Festival event is so impressive that even Oprah Winfrey and MSN.com previously named it as one of the best festivals in the USA. Have you ever heard of it or been to this fall festival in Idaho?

The Trailing of the Sheep is a five-day celebration that recognizes the important agricultural connection of sheepherding to Idaho's livestock industry. Sheep are herded throughout the state of Idaho and into Western parts of the United States. Ranchers from all over Idaho join to participate in this event and spectators from around the country love to come and watch. There is also a celebration of lamb cuisine and interactive experiences highlighting Idaho's contribution to American history as well.

WHAT ABOUT THE SHEEPDOGS? ARE THEY GOING TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR SHEEP HERDING EFFORTS, TOO, OR WHAT?
Simmer down, the sheep dogs are just as much an integral and loving part of the Trailing of the Sheep Festival, too. You can even sponsor a sheep dog!
