Episode description

This month on The Back Forty, we're heading to south-central Idaho to explore Albion: a tiny, history-rich agricultural town nestled at the base of the remote Albion Mountains. Haley is joined by Chris Corroon, a frequent visitor to Albion, to chat about what drew him to this quiet corner of the west. Chris gives us his review of Albion's many perks, including unbeatable skiing, rugged recreation, and an authentic rural community. From mouthwatering biscuits and gravy to jaw-dropping ranch land, Albion offers a laid-back mountain town experience that's hard to find and even harder to leave.
