Grangeville Idaho
Chamber of Commerce

There's a little town in the heart of Idaho where the spirit of the West is alive and well.

Grangeville...right in the middle of the state that's second only to Alaska in designated wilderness areas.

Idaho...the state that boasts the deepest gorge in North America, Hells Canyon, which is less than an hour from Grangeville. Five other rivers flow nearby, three of which are also designated wild and scenic.

Grangeville, surrounded by five wilderness areas and four national forests, totaling about 5 1/2 million acres, is a town which enjoys a fascinating history, complete with gold rushes, Indian wars, railroad feuds and all of the colorful lore of the Old West.

If you're lucky, you'll 'top up onto the prairie', as the locals say, just about sunset. A rosy glow blankets the little town whose elevation and population meet at around 3500. Grangeville sits on Idaho's major north/south highway, U.S. 95, the major route from southern idaho to Washington or Montana.

It's big country. Grangeville sits in one of the country's largest counties, Idaho County -- bigger than the state of New jersey - yet boasting one of the smallest populations, just 15,000 in the entire county.  Idaho County stretches from Oregon to Montana with more than four million trees growing from border to border. You'll find one stop light in Idaho County.

Grangeville...where the welcome mat is always out...where you'll find what you're looking for: good motels, RV parking, shopping, some dozen restaurants and take-out deli-type spots. There's even a restaurant at the top of the hill that still offers bottomless coffee for just 25 cents a cup! Now where on earth but Grangeville would you find that??
