Today is the Great American Grump Out, and we’re challenging you to 24 hours of zero complaining. If you feel a "grump" coming on, head to Lake Walcott. Idaho State Parks are the perfect place to turn that frown upside down.
Side effects may include: smiling, laughing, and suddenly becoming a “morning person” (no promises). 😄
