Nestled amidst Idaho’s snow-capped Rocky Mountain peaks and the meandering Salmon River, the Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch has flourished as a western ranch vacation retreat for over 90 years. The living history of the Old West mingles with the solitude and peace of this 900-acre ranch, offering freedom, breathtaking natural beauty, and a relaxed atmosphere. And the view from the front porch – well, you just have to experience that for yourself.
What to Do
Surrounded by the largest protected wilderness area in the “lower 48,” in the spectacular Sawtooth National Recreation Area, you will be enticed to some of the best outdoor recreation in the world, without the crowds.
Explore unlimited opportunities for western adventure, with choices from extreme physical challenges to soothing relaxation. Fill your days hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, fishing, whitewater rafting, and swimming in the natural hot springs pool. Explore on your own or take advantage of a broad array of locally-offered guided activities. The freedom to set your own agenda and pace provides a custom vacation.
There’s also plenty of relaxation available, from taking in the Sawtooth Mountains from our famous front porch rocking chairs, reading by the fire, playing games with family and friends, to stargazing from the hot springs pool. Our Chef’s cuisine elegantly and heartily fuels your adventures, and at day’s end your charming cabin or lodge room beckons you for a restful night.
