Oh Idaho...This state is my favorite place to travel in the summer. My family started going up there 7 years ago on a friend's recommendation. The drive up to Idaho from Utah is not so exciting but once you see the rivers of Big Wood, Lost, and Snake; the scenery changes and the beauty of the place become evident. Idaho has so much to explore. Ghost towns, mountains, single track, fly fishing streams, etc. The mountains offer a vast wilderness playground to explore.
A loose plan...An eight day journey with friends that involved hiking, biking, fly fishing, rafting, and ghost town exploration on the menu. It was a grand time!
On our way north from Utah, we stopped at Chesterfield, Idaho. A former settlement, turned ghost town, turned historical site that the state of Idaho helps protect. It's unique in that it has homes from the log cabins to brick. The people were forced out by the cold. -50 in the winter. No thank you!
There is a general store which offered Lilly a few treats!
I tried to stop for gas. No luck!
The tours available are for free and the length is up to you. We choose to explore the area for an hour or so.
Lilly enjoyed this kids room.
The history of the place in pictures and stories.
The old church has been reinvented at cost of $500,000.
Our time was coming to an end...We had to start heading north to Central Idaho. Ginger seemed comfortable during our ride!
Our friends Barb and Jen had no idea the tallest mountain in Idaho, Mt. Borah, was right behind them as we tried to find a camping spot for the night.
More to come...
