While these two communities are separated by a lot of beautiful countryside, they share a common ranching and pioneer heritage that binds them together. Nestled at the base of Cassia County's highest peaks, Elba is about 32 miles southeast of Burley, and Almo is another 12 miles south of Elba along the City of Rocks Backcountry Byway. With some of the best scenery in Mini-Cassia, the Elba-Almo valley is a popular weekend escape.
Almo is situated at the entrances to both City of Rocks National Reserve and Castle Rocks State Park. Both parks draw rock climbers from around the world. The towns have a wealth of pioneer heritage with many signs still visible today. Remaining small and committed to a Western way of living, much in Almo and Elba has remained unchanged for generations. The Almo Creek Outpost offers fine meals and a few convenience items for visitors, but plan to stop in Albion or Malta if you forget to bring something from home. The Outpost also features themed cabins and nearby Durfee Hot Springs is a great place to relax during your getaway.
