Silver City

Silver City, Idaho

Description

Silver City, Idaho is a historic mining town located in the Owyhee Mountains. This town is one of the few mining towns that did not burn down or get modernized into a commercial city.

The Idaho Hotel is one of the main attractions and appears as it did over 100 years ago with only a few updates. Strolling around Silver City, there is a lot of mining history in this dusty, old, ghost town, and plenty to see.
