Thursday rain in Idaho Falls: Ideas to make the most of it

(IDAHO FALLS, ID) Rain is set to put a damper on outdoor activities in Idaho Falls Thursday, but it doesn’t have to stop you from getting things done. In fact, a grey, drippy day can be the perfect time for some activities — check out these ideas as well as your four-day forecast.
