Set against the backdrop of majestic mountains in the west, Salmon is an ideal escape for those who need a breather. It is home to Salmon River, which is often called the “River of No Return”. The river is a famous whitewater rafting destination. If that is not your thing, you can also fish in the river. Other exciting outdoor activities you may enjoy include cross-country skiing, horseback riding, and ice skating. At Sacajawea Interpretive, Cultural & Educational Center, you can learn more about the Sacagawea heritage through various programs and even guided walks. You do not have to spend a lot of money at a 5-star hotel for comfortable accommodation during your trip. Check out the top cabin rentals in Salmon, Idaho, below.
