	A Redrock Stagecoach near Lemhi Pass
		Stagecoach service was established between Red Rock and the Lemhi Valley in 1884, with terminals at Tendoy on the western end of the Agency Creek road, Salmon at the mouth of the Lemhi, and Leadore fifty miles to the south near the river's source, at 7000 feet.
		Lemhi Pass is 7378 feet above mean sea level; the settlements of Armstead (site of Camp Fortunate) and Red Rock, 30 miles east, lie at about 5500 feet, so the average grade over the eastern leg of the journey between the Beaverhead and Salmon City was only a little over two percent.
		The railroad was built primarily to haul ore from the mines at Leadore to the Union Pacific junction at Armstead, east of the pass.
