Leadore Ranger District
This District is comprised of 335,613 acres encompassing portions
of the Lemhi Mountains to the west and the Beaverhead Mountains
to the east of the Lemhi Valley. The area is rich in history. We
are located 45 miles south of Salmon on Highway 28.
The Leadore Ranger District has gone through many changes over
the years, yet much of the area looks the way it did 100 years ago.
While traveling the upper Lemhi Valley area it is easy to imagine
the Indians hunting along the Lemhi River, or the Lewis and Clark
Expedition crossing to the west of the "Great Divide",
envision the freight wagons, heavy with supplies, slowly making
their way to the mines of the area. This rural undeveloped area
provides numerous opportunities to revisit and visualize the past.
