If you're looking for a way to enjoy the beautiful fall weather while exploring more of Idaho Falls, the Idaho Falls Greenbelt is a perfect place to add to your weekend plans. Stretching approximately 10.6 miles, the Greenbelt is a popular destination for walking, running, biking, sightseeing, and enjoying some of the local restaurants along the Snake River.

With paved pathways and beautiful scenery throughout, the Greenbelt offers something for everyone. Whether you're looking to get some exercise, take a relaxing stroll, or simply spend an afternoon outside, it's an easy way to enjoy the outdoors without having to leave the city.

One of the highlights of the Greenbelt is the scenery surrounding the Snake River. The trail provides beautiful views of the river, waterfalls, parks, and downtown Idaho Falls. It's especially enjoyable during the fall when the changing leaves add even more color to the landscape. 🍂

But the Greenbelt isn't just about getting outside. One of the best parts of exploring the area is having plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy some of the local dining options along the way.

🍽️ Make It a Dining Adventure

After working up an appetite walking or biking the Greenbelt, consider making your outing a little more special with a meal at Copper Rill. Located near downtown Idaho Falls, Copper Rill has become a notable part of the local dining scene, offering an upscale atmosphere without feeling overly formal.

With views of the Snake River and a menu focused on steaks, seafood, and scratch-made dishes, Copper Rill is a great option for turning a simple afternoon outdoors into a full Idaho Falls experience.

The restaurant features a variety of unique dishes, including favorites such as black and blue filet mignon, baked haddock with lobster mango salsa, Thai lamb chops, rendered duck breast in plum wine sauce, and prosciutto-wrapped tiger shrimp.

Chef Jud Wilcox, a southeast Idaho native and graduate of Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, brings a creative approach to the restaurant's all-scratch kitchen.
