About this spot
Silver City, Idaho is one of the few old mining towns that has not burned down or become commercialized. Rugged and picturesque, the 8,000 feet-high Owyhee Mountains surround Silver City which sits at an elevation of 6,200 feet. Visiting the town is like taking a step back in time. One of the main buildings, the Idaho Hotel stands as it did 100 years ago with the addition of just a few modern amenities. This history-filled town has about seventy-five structures that date from the 1860s to the early 1900s, each stirring the imagination and begging to be photographed.
