FREMONT COUNTY, IDAHO
Fremont County is located in the northeast corner of Idaho where Montana and Wyoming meet with Idaho to form one of the most magical and pristine pockets of wilderness in the contiguous 48 states. Located in the county are a number of towns - Ashton, Chester, Egin, Island Park, Marysville, Newdale, Parker, St. Anthony and Warm River.
In Fremont County you will find some of the best fly fishing waters in the West. The Henry's Fork of the Snake River originates in the county and alternately meanders through wide open country or cascades majestically in towering waterfalls over basalt cliffs. The Henry's Fork is world renowned as a stunningly productive fly fishing river. The Fall River originates out of Yellowstone National Park and tumbles through the county before it meets up with the Henry's Fork near Chester. There is also the Warm River, Robinson Creek, Teton River and numerous other productive and secluded spring creeks throughout the county.
While fly fishing is one of the main draws for the county it is certainly not the only one. The enormous sand dunes north of St. Anthony draw ATV enthusiasts from all over the west. Island Park, in the northern part of the county, is a recreation mecca with snowmobiling in the winter and boating in the summer. Plus great alpine skiing is just a half hour away at the Grand Targhee ski resort outside of Driggs, ID.
The nearest commercial airport is in Idaho Falls, ID and the nearest town with major shopping stores is Rexburg, ID.
Fremont County is 1,877 square miles or about 1,201,300 acres in size, and much is public land comprised of BLM, National Forest, State of Idaho and Yellowstone National Park. In fact only 31.9% (or 599 square miles) of Fremont County is in private hands. 43.7% (about 821 miles) is part of the Targhee National Forest.
GALLATIN COUNTY, MONTANA
Gallatin County is one of the most scenic countys in the beautiful state of Montana. Numerous spring creeks as well as the Gallatin River flow down out of the mountains and through the lush valley bottom on their way to the Missouri River. Located in the Southwest portion of the state, Gallatin County starts at the Idaho line and borders Yellowstone National Park on the southern end and extends all the way north past the town of Bozeman. Numerous mountain ranges such as the Bridgers, Gallatin & Spanish Peaks provide all kinds of recreational opportunities for area residents and visitors. There is fishing on the Gallatin River and near by Madison and Yellowstone Rivers; fantastic rock climbing and skiing at Big Sky and Bridger Bowl.
The main town is of course Bozeman which boasts a major university, Montana State, a number of large employers, world class fly fishing & skiing, hiking trails and a vibrant downtown. The local economy supports a very strong real estate market and when combined with the classic big sky surroundings has made Bozeman a very desirable place to live. While the town has boomed in recent years the population is still small enough that it has retained its small town feel.
The fast paced life of Bozeman blends well with the much slower pace of agricultural communities like Churchill and Three Forks. There is also Belgrade and Manhattan which are downstream from Bozeman along the Gallatin River and the tourist town of West Yellowstone on the edge of Yellowstone National Park.
