The scenery from the Idaho border into Salmon was breathtaking. As we are driving along the river, all I could imagine was Lewis & Clark. They followed the Salmon River to the present site of Salmon.
Salmon is a small town with population of 3,100. It is also the home to the Sacajawea Interpretive Cultural and Education Center. Elmer Keith, the creator of the .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum and .41 Magnum was from Salmon.
Some facts about Idaho. The state's population is 1.75 million. The capital is in Boise. State nickname is "Gem State" because almost every known type of gemstone has been found in Idaho, including the largest diamond in the U.S. More that "72" gemstones are mined in Idaho. The state fruit is "huckleberry" and the state produces 1/3 of all potatoes grown in the U.S.
After unpacking at the The Stagecoach Inn, we enjoyed our walk into downtown and had dinner at the "Junkyard Bistro".
