Burley, Idaho

Burley is the county seat of Cassia County but the city straddles the county line with Minidoka County. Burley is home to the famous Spudman Triathlon, "Home of the World's Fastest Swimcourse."

Burley was founded in 1905 as an agricultural center along the railroad line through the Snake River Valley. This is also old Oregon Trail/California Trail country, along with maybe 30 other pioneer trails in the area. Burley is an all-year recreation center with the Snake River just to the north, Pomerelle Ski Area to the south and hundreds of miles of hiking and mountain biking trails in the mountains in between. City of Rocks is a world-class rock climbing site to the south of Burley. You'll also find some beautiful, pristine mountain lakes and some hidden hot springs.
