HoneyTrek Influencer Campaign

After a brief trip through northern Idaho in 2017 and discovering it has the largest contiguous wilderness area in the Lower 48, a mountain range with 40 peaks over 10,000 feet, and the deepest river gorge in North America…we knew this highly underrated state deserved some deeper exploration. Trying to redirect the spotlight from its famous potatoes to its bounty of geological wonders, we embarked on a 1,500-mile road trip and a month-long editorial and marketing campaign for Visit Idaho. Our love for Idaho reached over a quarter million people and prompted 25,111 inquisitive and adoring reactions for the Gem State.

Here’s a sampling of the 65+ pieces of content we created for Visit Idaho.

“Open the gate; just don’t let the cows out,” said the note on our back-country camping app. We shut it behind us and inched down the dirt road, hoping the heifers would clear a path. “Could this really be the way?” I said to Mike. We rounded the bend to find a river flowing around a rippled mountain with dashes of red and purple appeared with a perfectly level “campsite”. It was one of the prettiest we’d seen in our 500+ days of RV-ing…and not a soul in sight. This was the theme of Idaho: beauty under the radar…READ MORE in our 1,900-word blog on the must-see adventures from the Teton Valley to the Craters of the Moon

Visit Idaho asked us to write two blogs to bring a new influencer authority and style to their tourism site. For our first post, we shared our seven must-see stops for mountain lovers and rock hounds, and they are going to use our “Idaho’s Wild Rivers & Hot Springs” post to drum up some excitement for the 2019 summer season.

Just finished a six-day, 100-mile river rafting trip down the legendary Salmon Middle Fork & Frank Church Wilderness. No roads and no motors, it is the largest untouched contiguous wilderness area in the lower 48. Shoshone pictographs, old miners’ cabins, and a few footprints are the only traces of man. We were human powered with our paddles and the amazing crew from @SolitudeRiverTrips. Camping on river beaches, fly fishing the streams, soaking in hot springs, and kayaking from cool lodgepole pine forests to red cliff canyons…we experienced nature as it’s meant to be. #VisitIdaho #Sponsored @VisitIdaho #riverrafting #wilderness #frankchurchwilderness #middlefork #salmonriver #adventure #flyfishing #riverbeach #couplestravel
