From Yellowstone to Warm River Sta. this route winds thru the mountains in a
pine forest most of the way, passing several summer resorts and ranches of wealthy
easterners. Altho, as a whole, this section is thinly settled and supply points are infre-
quent. This part of the route lies in the Targhee National forest and good camping
sites and trout streams are numerous. Beyond Warm River Sta. the road enters one
of the richest farming regions in Idaho, both irrigated and dry farms being successful,
and passes thru several large towns.
