💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •Pack snacks, drinks, and a picnic lunch. Dining options are limited, and the historical journey can build up quite an appetite!
- •Remember to bring your camera! Custer's ghost towns provide a unique backdrop for family photos.
- •Ensure you're wearing sturdy footwear. The terrain can be uneven and rocky at times.
- •Respect the sites and refrain from collecting souvenirs or littering. Let's preserve these historical treasures for future explorers.
- •Dress appropriately for the weather. Idaho's climate can be unpredictable, and the ghost towns are often exposed to the elements.
