Driggs, ID, United States

Capital City

With a population of just 1,984, Driggs is a tiny outpost in eastern Idaho that's more rustic mountain town than thriving city. While the surrounding Teton Valley offers ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, the harsh continental climate brings bitterly cold winters that can be a persistent headache. And with the nearest major airport over an hour away, the local Driggs-Reed Memorial Airport's 7,300-foot runway serves only private aircraft.

Driggs may appeal to those seeking a slower-paced lifestyle, but the town's remoteness and isolated setting won't be for everyone. Those seeking urban amenities and easy access to travel will likely find Driggs too small and inconvenient to call home.
