Site Features: |
| What kind of visit you can have:
Mostly soak up atmosphere. The only power or
amenities in town are at the Idaho Hotel, which is
filled with antiques and the Post-Office
Drugstore. This is the kind of place you come to
to get away from it all, so you'll probably want to make
advance reservations to stay overnight. |
| Big Events:
Cattlemen's Association Rendezvous (Jul); Poker
Tournament (Lab Day), town open house (Sep) |
