Idaho City first came to be when gold was discovered in Boise Basin, transforming it into the largest city in the Pacific Northwest for a period of time. While the gold rush may already be over, the remnants of its glorious past can still be seen today, despite the number of fires that burned down many of its buildings. Go on a walking tour to explore old buildings such as the jail, the schoolhouse, saloons, and antique stores. Pay your respects to the departed at the Pioneer Cemetery. Drop by the Boise Basin Museum to examine artifacts from the bygone era. If you prefer surrounding yourself with nature, explore the verdant Boise National Forest, which features picturesque scenes. Whether you’re a history fan or a nature lover, you can find something to satisfy your interests. For accommodations, there are lots to choose from including inns, hotels, and even yurts near Idaho City. You may also book one of these Airbnb vacation rentals in Idaho City, Idaho.
