The
prairie and ski mountains come alive in the winter. In addition to
snowboarding, downhill and cat skiing at
Soldier Mountain Ski Resort, winter recreational enthusiast enjoys
cross country skiing,
snowshoeing and hundreds of miles of
groomed snowmobiling trails through the
Sawtooth Mountain Range. Backcountry tourists enjoy spotting
wildlife and photography. A variety of events, including
snowmobile races, dog sled
races, kite boarding, skijoring
and downhill skiing competitions are
scheduled throughout the winter season. in town Santa
always shows up just after the City Tree Lighting Ceremony. The
Historical Society puts on a monthly
Dinner Bingo Fundraiser
for a warmer activity. February always brings the local branch of the
American Legion's Annual Crab feed fundraiser for a coastal treat!
Spring - As the
snow melts, green hillsides emerge and the streams and mountain drainage
creeks swell from runoff. Hillsides are covered in
wild flowers and the most spectacular event of all...
the
Camas lilies bloom in the prairie. The
best viewing is in the Centennial Marsh
from approximately May 15 - June 15.
 Summer
- It
just doesn't get any better than this. The long days of sunshine provide
endless opportunities to hike, bike, golf,
fish, camp, bird watch, photograph
and sightsee. Clear and dark skies
provide unmatched stargazing. Camas
Lily days is our weekend we celebrate our indian heritage
and the lilies that brought them here. During this weekend we have a
10 K
Fun
Run which starts and finishes at the Park (2nd St W).
This year over the 4th of July weekend we will be
having a 3 band music
concert in the American Legion baseball field!
Fall
- The
activities of summer continue as the air becomes crisper and the beauty of
the aspen and cottonwood trees change from green to gold, red and orange.
Big game areas surrounding the prairie
are abundant with deer,
elk, antelope
and bear as hunting season opens.
It is also the time of the
county fair, rodeo,
and
wagon train.
