About this city
Also known as: The Silver Valley
Kellogg is a rugged, historic mountain city located deep within the silver-rich Bitterroot Range of the Coeur d'Alene River valley in Shoshone County, Idaho, a legendary region famously dubbed the Silver Valley. Founded in the late 1880s following the discovery of monumental lead and silver lodes by a legendary runaway donkey, Kellogg endured over a century of hard-rock industrial mining booms and labor union clashes. Today, the city has successfully engineered a spectacular economic pivot to become a premier year-round alpine ski resort town.
