Lost River, ID

united states

Lost River is a remote desert community of 55 people in central Idaho's Custer County, surrounded by sagebrush and mountain ranges. Reach it via US 93 north from Twin Falls (90 miles), then Highway 28 northwest from Arco for another 20 miles through sparse high desert terrain. From Boise, it's 150 miles via US 20 to Highway 93. The nearest services are in Arco, 25 miles away, so plan fuel stops accordingly. The town's post office operates from a building that serves as the community's unofficial gathering place.
