What time zone is Idaho in?

Idaho has two time zones that are roughly divided by the course of the Salmon River. North of the river is the Pacific Time Zone; south and east of the riverthe greater part of Idahois the Mountain Time Zone. The town of Riggins on U.S. 95 at the confluence of the Salmon and Little Salmon rivers is just south of the time line. The bridge over the Salmon River, about two miles north of Riggins, marks the time line for highway travelers and is referred to as the time-zone bridge.
