In 1862, gold was discovered in the Boise Basin and the town of Idaho City sprung up and quickly became a boom town. Author: Brian Holmes Updated: 5:24 PM MDT August 2, 2021
IDAHO CITY, Idaho Gold was first discovered in North Idaho, near present-day Pierce, Idaho in 1860, and miners seeking their fortune flooded into the Idaho Territory from across the world. But that wasn t the only place in the Gem State that experienced a gold rush at the time.
As the story goes, George Grimes and Moses Splawn were the first to discover gold in the Boise Basin. Splawn was apparently told by a Native American that there was so much gold just laying around it could be picked up by the fistfuls.

This Scenic Idaho Drive Is A Must Do
I love driving. I could be driving to the grocery store and I m smiling. I love driving so much that most of the time when I drive I don t want to answer my phone even if its on blue tooth. I just want to enjoy the moment and focus on the actual art of driving. Sometimes I drive to think, other times I drive for the adrenaline rush but my favorite are scenic drives.
This weekend I experienced the most scenic drive I have taken in a long time. Saturday morning a few friends and I decided to drive to Sun Valley for the Tour De Force Phantom Hill No Speed Limit Runs. We had an amazing time but when it was over is when the real fun started.
