This list features Mountain Towns in Idaho, Washington, California, Utah, Oregon, and more! Those of us in Boise don't have to travel far to find one of the best Mountain Towns in our lovely country.

Whether you're looking for a ski resort, mountain biking, paddle boarding, or white water rafting your favorite outdoor activity isn't hard to find. So, before you plan a trip to Alaska to check out the wilderness, maybe give this list a look through to see if you can find what you're looking for much closer to home.

I thought this list was great. Not only were the obvious Mountain Towns included, but I learned about some new ones, as well. Were all of my favorites included? No, but that's okay!
