MacKay, Idaho -" Rally In-The-Pines," Off-Road event

 

Mackay has a rich mining and associated logging history as well as farming and ranching. With mining and logging essentially shut down, the main economy now revolves around farming and ranching, and tourism.  Population of Mackay is approximately 517.

Mackay is situated between the White Knob Mountain Range and the Lost River Mountain Range, which are home to the highest mountains in Idaho earning Mackay the nickname "Top of Idaho."
