About 30 miles west of Twin Falls, Idaho, Balanced Rock can be seen from the road of the same name. There's a small parking lot with a picnic table. It's a short but steep climb up to the amazing rock formation that seems like you could just push it over. (But don't touch it, of course!) Great to visit during the golden hour around sunrise or sunset. There's also hiking in the area.
