Salmon Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
city in and county seat of Lemhi County, Idaho, United States
About Salmon
Salmon is the seat of Lemhi County and imbedded in the ridges and valleys of the Rocky Mountains, such that it seems worlds away from the rest of the world. In times past, it is where the Lewis & Clark expedition passed through with the help of Sacajawea. Today it has a dichotomous vibe of playing to the rich as a destination for outfitter type excursions, notably with dude ranch vacations and whitewater rafting on the Salmon River, while at the same time being the home to many conservative, provincial types. One caveat of all this is that you might pay a little more for your latte or gallon of gas here.
