Road Trips:


Experience the history of Mormon settlement in part of the Upper Bear River Valley. Brigham Young sent settlers north from Salt Lake City up the Bear River and into Cache Valley, establishing communities along the way. In 1860, they founded Franklin, Idaho's first town. This was followed by settlements in Preston,Thatcher, Grace, Soda Springs, and Chesterfield. The story of settlement is captured in unique historic buildings, difficult irrigation projects, and Chesterfield, a Mormon "Ghost Town." A full day is needed for the 110 mile journey, with an overnight stay at the Historic Enders Hotel and Geyser View Restaurant in Soda Springs. Spend the next day in town, exploring carbonated springs, the Captive Geyser, and a historic segment of the Oregon/California Trail. Plan your trip between June through October for the best weather, colorful scenery, activities, and events.
