FLAGG RANCH ROAD

46-Mile Backcountry Experience From Idaho to Wyoming

- BRANDON HOFFNER

Driving the 46-mile Ashton-Flagg Ranch Road in Idaho and Wyoming is an experience that feels like stepping into a postcard of the American West. For fans of J.R.R Tolkien, the Ashton end of the road might remind you of The Shire (home of the Hobbits), with its expansive agricultural fields interspersed by aspen and pine groves. The winding, rustic road cuts through the heart of stunning landscapes, towering mountains framing the horizon, and lush meadows dotted with wildflowers.
