Challis

Challis is the seat and largest town of Custer County, Idaho on the Salmon River in the rugged central Idaho mountains, a ranching and mining-heritage community that serves as a gateway to the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. Its economy runs on cattle ranching, mining (the Thompson Creek area), Salmon River and backcountry recreation and outfitting, hot springs, county and federal land-agency activity, and the businesses serving the high country. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for Challis companies, from ranches and outfitters to mining-services and local businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
