Weird Idaho

Once the largest water park in the North West, Wild Waters in Cour d'Alene was the summer destination for decades before quietly closing its gate in 2010.  The park has sat abandoned now for eight years, and for those who remember it in it's heyday it is an eerie ghost of its former self. This 2016 urban exploration video by Adam the woo shows what remains of Wild Waters.

Officially known as the Centennial Tree, the Brundage Bra Tree sits at the base of the Centennial ski lift at the Brundage ski resort outside McCall, Idaho.  For reasons unknown, female skiers discard their bras into the branches of this small tree as the lift passes overhead.  The tree an be viewed by visitors and contributed to by anyone willing to remove their clothing on the Centennial ski lift.

Outside the North Idaho town of Grangeville hides a fascinating phenomenon known to the locals as Gravity Hill. Alternately called 'Magnetic Hills' or 'Mystery Spots', gravity hills are strange locations where objects start to roll uphill.  Everything from car tires to bouncy balls are effected, and a car placed in neutral on Gravity Hill will begin to ascend, picking up speed as it goes. Perhaps strangest of all is that this is not Idaho's only gravity hill.  Post Falls boasts its own mystery spot, with very similar effect.

Good News, everyone; the Center of the Universe has been discovered, and it's a manhole cover in Wallace, Idaho. The lovely town of Wallace, Idaho boasts a modest population of 780, but in 2004 their mayor made the following proclamation: “I, Ron Garitone, Mayor of Wallace, Idaho, and all of its subjects, and being of sound body and mind, do hereby solemnly declare and proclaim Wallace to be the Center of the Universe.” Shauna Hillman, one of the people behind this manhole cover, responded to questioning with "Prove it isn't." The manhole cover was placed in response to an EPA ruling that the town's mining industry had polluted the sol and water, but claimed that it was impossible to prove the lead was not naturally occurring, leading to 1,500 square miles of land being devalued, including the town.
