Nestled in a spectacular sliver of the Salmon River Mountains, McCall, Idaho, is a mountain town somewhat frozen in time. Situated among dense Ponderosa pines, it’s a scenic two-hour drive from bustling Boise, but it couldn’t seem farther away. With Brundage and Tamarack Mountains nearby, the main draw for travelers in the winter months is the snow. But even if you’re not a die-hard winter sports enthusiast, there’s a hearty helping of Western nostalgia beckoning in this charming part of the Gem State.
