Idaho’s 7 Wonders, According to Statesman

Issue: The Idaho Statesman has unveiled the state's "7 Wonders": Snake River, Lochsa and Clearwater rivers, Sawtooths, North Idaho's great lakes, Owyhee Canyonlands, Craters of the Moon, and the Frank Church River of No Return/Salmon River here.

More Info: The Statesman also provided a poll that asked: "Which of the Seven Wonders is your favorites" -- to which 52% of 1303 responded: The Sawtooths here. That proves, of course, that the Statesman and the poll respondents are southern Idaho myopic and rivercentric. The Great Lakes of North Idaho ranked at the bottom with 5%. Amazing.

Question: What do you think of the Statesman's "wonders"?
