Warren, Idaho is a genuine old-west ghost town even though there have been people living there since James Warren set up camp there back in 1862. The current population is only 12 to 16 hardy souls year-round but about 50 people live there suring the warmer summer months. During the Warren gold rush as many as 5,000 people called this home.

There is a dirt airstrip, local accommodations include the Backcountry B&B, camping

Be sure to take a walk around town but don't take off with any of the local artifacts. They are highly prized by their owners and you may discover a Smith and Wesson rifle asking you to put the antique back - old west style.

One thing you won't want to miss is a visit to the old cemetery whose residents date back to the late 1800's. Included are James Rains, 1879, Warren pioneer killed by the Sheepeater Indians and Ah Sam, 1933, the "honorary mayor" of Warren because he was well-liked and respected by his fellow residents.
