Trail Overview

Enjoy an easy, scenic drive along the South Fork of the Boise River. Dart in and out of shaded pine groves, narrow rocky sections right next to the flowing river, and even pass some hot springs. Views are everywhere, wildlife is plentiful, trails are around almost every corner, and many dispersed and established campgrounds to relax and enjoy. Stop by the Smoky Bar store for some supplies, good food, and ice cream bars on a hot summer day.

Difficulty

This is a very well-maintained road that is wide and graded through most sections. Some areas narrow slightly and contain small protruding rocks on the surface. It can become washboarded toward the end of the summer camping season, with a few one-lane bridges and blind corners along the way. Overall, it is easy to navigate and suitable for most vehicles, with minimal challenges.
