8. Curlew National Grassland

6 sites · Idaho

As if you needed more inspiration to get out and enjoy the unexpected beauty of Idaho, the Curlew National Grassland resides in Power County—ya gotta come see what’s so powerful about this place! You won’t be let down by the fortitude of history and scenery at this former home to Shoshone and Bannock Indian tribes. Formerly a ranching town laid to waste by the Dust Bowl, this space was created to sustain wildlife and fish, as well as water and recreation resources in the county. Even if you can’t stay the night, there are plenty of scenic drives to take through the park, and panoramic views to capture on your camera. Sagebrush open desert provides little shade, but the Stone Reservoir has some cool-off opportunities in the form of boating, swimming, and fishing. You can also catch a chill in the year-round 40 degree Minnetonka Caves nearby, or warm up during a winter visit at the Downata Hot Springs in Malad.

Weekend Trip to Country Flare

A safe area with other travelers. I happened to arrive on a bad weekend (4th of July weekend) so there were fireworks until pretty late. But aside from that it was nice.

This was a great stop for the night. Close to the highway, in the middle of town, but also quiet and peaceful. We lucked out and had the place to ourselves. Our dog had the run of the place. 30 amp power and water worked with no problems.

Great place for stopping in for the night. We had the whole place to ourselves. More of these fairgrounds across the country should be doing this for travelers.

Very quiet and clean!! Plenty of space as well. We hear the trains during daylight hours but by bedtime did not hear them. The host was extremely responsive to any questions with replies within minutes.

This was a great spot. The energy is vibrant, the grounds are kept, and it was so quiet. I needed some quiet and isolation for a few days and this was great, thank you!
