Driggs is the best outdoor sports town in Idaho, according to New York magazine editors.

Sports Afield magazine’s February features what its editors consider to be the top outdoorsrelated towns in each state.

Driggs got high marks because “the prices are low, people are friendly and the quality of the experience is unmatched,” the article said.

Driggs’ assets, according to the article, include fishing on the Teton River and South Fork of the Snake River, and the proximity of Grand Targhee resort and Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.
