Arco, Idaho - INL Nuclear Reactor - Idaho Falls, Idaho

On Sunday we drove from Arco, Idaho to West Yellowstone, Montana.  We made a stop at the INL Nuclear Reactor museum that is just 18 miles east of Arco.  We also made a stop in Idaho Falls because I'd never seen the falls.  We snapped a few pictures and then headed to Yellowstone.

We took a few pictures around Arco before leaving.  The sail for the one of the first nuclear submarines is on display at a city park, it was HUGE! Another interesting fact about Arco is the Number Hill.  Each graduating class since 1920 has gone up on the mountain and white washed their year into the mountain.   Pickle's Place was our favorite place to eat, great food, friendly staff and a pickle with every meal!

The INL site is home to a National Landmark with the EBR-1.  The nuclear reactor was the first one to light an entire town (Arco) and not just a building or light blub.  The museum was pretty cool and we spent an hour on a tour and learning about Nuclear power.

Here are a few pictures of the the falls in Idaho Falls including a picture of the Idaho Falls LDS Temple.
