About Saltese
Tucked into the St. Regis River valley along Interstate 90, Saltese is a tiny mountain community just five miles from the Idaho border. Originally founded as Silver City during the late-1800s mining boom, it was later renamed in honor of Nez Perce leader Chief Saltese. Today, this quiet stop offers scenic forested views and easy access to outdoor recreation around Lookout Pass and the surrounding Bitterroot Mountains. It is an appealing spot for anyone seeking rugged seclusion in western Montana while staying connected to the main highway.
