The Idaho State Capitol in Boise is the home of the government of Idaho.

A full-scale replica of the Liberty Bell occupies a site at the base of the stairs outside the Jefferson Street entrance. 

The bell is one of 53 commissioned in 1950 by the U.S. Treasury Department and presented to each of the states and is accessible to passersby.

Grand Teton Visitor Center / The Hotel We Stayed

The official name of the visitor center we visited is the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center.

It opened in 2007, the building is named after Craig Thomas, a three-term Republican Senator from Wyoming who died only months before the visitor center he opened.

Visitor Center offers trail information, weather, and other general information.

It exhibits displays that explore the place, people, preservation and mountaineering.

A raised relief map of the park provides a birds-eye-view of the valley, canyons, lakes and peaks.

I didn't understand why a hotel located so far from the sea displayed so many ocean-themed artworks. lol
