Idaho oh Idaho. You never disappoint. The Salmon-Challis National Forest represents this flawlessly. Rugged mountains give way to untamed rivers; granite peaks gaze over sapphire alpine lakes; whitewater rafters cascade through rapids; and each day’s quest can lead to a different trail in the epic Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, which happens to be the largest contiguous wilderness area in the continental United States! Rugged and remote, this country offers millions of acres filled with breathtaking views from gravel roads, enough fish to stock your freezer all winter, and groves of cedar trees where you can set up your tent and peer out to the ocean of stars. At night listen to the coyotes call, the owls hoot, and the clink of cans as you toast to this recreational heaven. Idaho of Idaho, you are so much more than just a potato!

Lost Trail Hot Springs Resort
12. Lost Trail Hot Springs Resort
22mi from Darby
Gallogly Hot Springs, also known as Lost Trail Hot Springs since the 1970s, offers a unique retreat for travelers crossing the Continental Divide at Gibbons Pass. Nestled in a secluded area, this natural hot spring has served as a peaceful resting spot for those embarking on the challenging ascent of the old Indian trail, which climbs approximately 2,000 feet over just three miles. The soothing waters provide a perfect respite before tackling the strenuous journey ahead.
The history of Gallogly Hot Springs dates back to 1892 when a woman built a cabin to keep her invalid son close to the healing waters. Although she only stayed for about two years and left the cabin unfinished, her efforts marked the beginning of human connection to this tranquil site. In 1894, Mr. Denning became the first to channel the hot water through a pipe to his comfortable cabin, which featured a cozy stone fireplace located about a quarter-mile from the springs. Unfortunately, fate intervened when a tree fell and crushed his cabin while he was away, prompting him to relocate.
Today, Gallogly Hot Springs remains a hidden gem, inviting visitors to experience its natural beauty and therapeutic waters. The surrounding landscape offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, exploring nearby swimming holes, and enjoying the serene environment.

The loft cabin was exactly as advertised, with bonus water jug filled and windows open and fan to help cool the place down in the summer heat. Jamie was a wonderful host, offering hiking recommendations for us. Would definitely stay again, thank you!

I had a great time with me and my dog, each day was like living in a fairy tale with critters, hummingbirds, and butterflies living their best life. If Snow White with a gaggle of gnomes walked out of the woods I wouldn’t have been surprised. Perfect place to get away from the chaos of July 4th but most importantly no service (except at the lodge) so I just turned off and watched the wind rustle trees and ran around the woods. 10/10 and will be back to try out all the season.
Get the ice cream after getting a burger.
Also thanks Brad the Manager for helping me with my cooler!

This site was beautiful! Lynda was so kind and helpful. There is a nice trail near the cabin and is easily accessible (it is steep though!). The cabin was perfect, the pictures don’t do it justice. Our dog loved the fenced in area. It’s also the perfect place to look at the stars. Highly recommend!

Lynda responded well to my questions and was a great, friendly host. The views were vast and beautiful. The cabin was just right for me and my husband - coffee, views, and trails was all we needed. The porch was sweet, and even in the cooler hours, felt warm enough with a blanket and the sun to sit and enjoy. Thanks Lynda!

Such an AMAZING place!! With truly lovely hosts. We would have stayed a week if we were able. Wonderful cabin with everything you’d need and then some (due to the thoughtfulness of the hosts). Beautiful outlook. Fenced yard for the dog. Covered porch for gazing in comfort. Surrounded by forest service trails to wander. Seriously a gorgeous spot. We couldn’t have asked for better.

This cabin was so amazing. It had everything we needed and the Lodge on site serves amazing food. We were pleasantly surprised that it was just camp food it was truly gourmet and tasty food. Also the staff was helpful and informative. The nearby river and hot springs was a huge plus and for someone staying a few days there was plenty to do. We will be staying here again in the future and will recommend to our friends

Rustic in name only! Luxurious beds & thick towels, electric lights/plug, no TV (yes!), wood stove with firewood, screened front porch, eclectic/antique decorations. Communal shower & restrooms were clean, convenient, smelled like roses. Food was excellent at the main lodge built from local massive logs. There was a tiny general store and a gas pump. The drive through the mountains was winding but easy and safe. The small cabins & buildings were snuggled between giant old pines/conifers and the Lochsa River flowed beyond the community fire pit in the back of the Lodge. Just lovely!

Beautiful property, we stayed in a little cabin that seemed like it was recently built. Very comfortable, we loved the loft setup and although we didn’t use it, there was a really nice looking propane stove/oven combo in the cabin. They have some friendly chickens and cats on the property (and apparently a friendly blue heeler named blueberry who we unfortunately never got to meet). We will definitely book again next time we are in the bitterroot valley!

We loved our stay at this spot! The loft is super beautiful, with great outdoor seating and views. We made ourselves a cup of coffee to enjoy on the porch and chatted with the chickens. The drive in itself was so neat and scenic, would go back just for that! The directions were super clear and everything was easy to find. My very only disappointment is not getting to meet Blueberry the Blue Heeler 🤩 Next time.. though we did get to say hello to a very sweet little tabby cat and that was wonderful. 10/10 recommend!
