It's not unusual for Idaho to end up on a list. But, when a major publication like Outside Magazine makes a list, I pay attention. They've just released their 2016 version of "Best Places To Live" and 2 Idaho cities made the top 16.

We're sick and tired - ahem - what I meant to say is we're pleased to once again congratulate Boise for being recognized for its awesomeness.

The other Idaho city that was recognized was Ketchum. That, to me, is a pleasant surprise since Ketchum normally gets overlooked while Sun Valley and sometimes Hailey get the nod.

I've been to many of the towns on this list. Durango, Colorado is a personal favorite and many others that made their rankings are destinations I definitely plan to see some day.

Do you agree with Boise and Ketchum as being among the best that Idaho (and the West) have to offer? Or, would you make a different pick?
