Albion, ID

Tucked into a picturesque valley in south-central Idaho, Albion is a peaceful mountain community surrounded by rolling farmland and the rugged peaks of the Albion Range. With a population of around 250 people, life here centers on quiet country living and tight-knit neighborhood charm. Golden grain fields stretch right to the base of Mount Harrison, giving the town a scenic backdrop throughout every season. It gives you the privacy of rural living while keeping everyday amenities in nearby Burley just a short drive down the road.

The area is a fantastic home base for outdoor enthusiasts. Pomerelle Mountain Resort sits right up the road for winter skiing, while Lake Cleveland and the granite spires of the City of Rocks provide great spots for hiking, camping, and climbing all summer. The historic Albion State Normal School campus still sits at the center of town, giving the streets a unique character with its weathered stone buildings. It is a wonderful spot for anyone searching for fresh mountain air, starry night skies, and a slower pace of life.
