Orogrande, Idaho

Orogrande, Idaho
Take a step back into history - Visit the ghost town of Orogrande, (Spanish for "coarse gold"), once a trading center for the Buffalo Hump Mining district, with a store, a post office and a fine hotel. Built in 1899, the decaying hotel structure still stands in the center of town.

To get there you leave Grangeville towards Elk City on Hwy 14. Turn right on Crooked River Road #233. The road is well maintained. It is about 11 miles to Orogrande. Keep your eye out for deer, elk & moose!
