Green Canyon

This trail from Rockland, Idaho, via Green Canyon to Sheep Canyon, will take you from the high desert landscape and dry farms of southern Idaho up into the trees of the Sawtooth National Forest. The road from Rockland starts as a nice, well-maintained gravel road, and as you make your way up Green Canyon, it becomes more switchbacked and dirt but still maintained. It can be quite rutted out in the spring and dusty in the summer. It is an excellent trip for all off-road vehicles, but it becomes very narrow due to brush and tree growth. In the town of Rockland, you can get a great lunch at a little cafe and get some gas at a self-serve gas pump.
