About Hagerman Valley Inn
The Hagerman Valley Inn sits at the southern edge of the Hagerman Valley, a stretch of the Snake River canyon where artesian springs push out of the basalt canyon walls at Thousand Springs State Park, feeding the river with water that has traveled underground through the Snake River Plain aquifer. The inn is a small, practical property positioned for access to this particular geography: fossil beds, springs, the river. Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument, one of the world's most productive Pleistocene fossil sites, is nearby. The Snake River Grill operates adjacent to the inn. This is a well-run anchor in a place that most travelers pass through without stopping, and that rewards the ones who do.
What Hagerman Valley Inn Is Known For

The Experience
