Nostalgic

I would go back if I'm ever here again. The drive back there takes a little while and the roads are narrow. Cows all over the town. The historical buildings date back to the 1890's and earlier. I talked to a local and he said the town is on a historical register. Feels like I took a time machine…

Camp in an old mining town

Free campsites right on the edge of town next to creek. The ride up is worth it!

Central Idaho's Hidden Gem.

Thoroughly enjoyed camping in this area. Amazingly enough, we didn't run into a whole lot of other people while camping, only in the actual town. Getting there is interesting down a winding dirt road, but worth the trip to find all the trees in the middle of a desert. The landscape is this…

  • Lava rock formations. Eye see....
  • Exquisite views with diverse scenery.
