Lost Gold Trails Loop

Lost Gold Trails Loop

The Lost Gold Trails Loop ventures southwest along Highway A-2. It starts off the town of Dubois by the railway tracks and continues west over I-15 onto Idaho 22 to the old Highway 91 Junction till Spencer. Attractions include museums, mines and historic towns.


We spent less than an hour on a portion of this trail connecting to the Fort Henry Historic Byway on our way through to the Mesa Falls and Teton Scenic Byways

Fort Henry Historic Byway

Fort Henry Historic Byway

The Fort Henry Historic Byway marks the first white settlement in Idaho. The directions are too detailed (see link). Attractions include river access, monuments, sand dunes, game areas, historic ranches etc.


Our time here was very brief as we were keen to get through to Mesa Falls and Teton Scenic Byways before dark.

Mesa Falls Scenic Byway

Mesa Falls Scenic Byway

The Mesa Falls Scenic Byway, the shortest of this trip at only 29 miles long, starts and ends on US-20 forming an alternative scenic route. The southern end is at Idaho 47 and the northern end is at Route 294.


At 114 feet and 65 feet, the Upper and Lower Mesa Falls offer spectacular views in a forest setting. The viewing platforms provide very interesting angles to view the falls.

Teton Scenic Byway

Teton Scenic Byway

The Teton Scenic Byway begins at Idaho 31 at Swan Valley and through Idaho 32 and 33 ends at Idaho 47 at Ashton. Through its 69 miles length, there are several vantage points from which to view the splendid western skyline of the Teton range in neighbouring Wyoming.


It was a trip down memory lane for us to view the mountains from the opposite side of where we had previously seen them from (Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming) more than a decade ago.
