Leadore is located along the Lemhi River between the Beaverhead Mountains and the Lemhi Range in central Idaho. The region is known for its mineral mines and complex geologic history including rocks of the Belt Supergroup, Paleozoic limestones, anomalous Ordovician intrusives, Fold-Thrust structures, Challis volcanics, and Basin & Range extension. More than a few geologists cut their teeth on the rocks and structures exposed in this valley and in ranges nearby. Many say this area represents the very heart of the West - a place where cowboys, mountaineers, miners, photographers, and flyfishermen alike call home.
