Elk City, Idaho
Elk City is a unique destination in its own right, being one of the last “end of the road” wilderness locations accessible by automobile in the lower 48.
We are so remote that the local T-shirt reads:
Our Mission:
You come with a smile and leave with a smile
Your outdoor adventure headquarters

Spring starts in March, or April, or even in May...and sometimes it even waits until next year.
Spring is normally quiet and wet. Snow is melting, and it can drizzle for days on end, with highs in the 40s. It can also be 75 and sunny the next day, then snow again the next week.
Visit during spring for:
Steelhead fishing (March)
15 minutes away on the Clearwater River.
Turkey hunting (April)
There are turkeys in the area. No hunting on the property
Relaxation and a digital detox
Mushroom picking
Pick your favorite season and visit us for an incredible and relaxing break

Summer is peak time in Elk City. The sun rises about 5:00 and it stays light until about 10:00 p.m. We’ve got fire rings for late night s’mores, and millions of stars to see once that fire burns out.
Summer normally starts around mid-June and lasts until early September. The weather is normally dry and can be hot (up to 100 F!). Visit during summer for:
Salmon fishing (June)
Trout fishing
Floating the Clearwater River
Hiking or ATV riding
Mountain Biking
Gold Prospecting
Elk City is normally crowded (for here) during summers; it’s still got PLENTY of room and trails to explore. If you need suggestions, just ask!
