Welcome Boise County is located in the West Central Mountains of Idaho, just one hour north of Idaho’s capital city, Boise. The area is the host and backyard playground to many from the “city of trees.” The recreational opportunities are endless and the feeling of being in a rural distant, mountain setting is real. There’s plenty to do as the weather and events warm up for the year.
One of the biggest attractions in the Garden Valley area during the month of June is the Annual Wine and Art Festival held at Terrace Lakes Resort. The Festival draws artisans from throughout the northwest, and makes for a terrific day of fun in the sun in the mountains. Saturday, June 25. www.terracelakes.com.
SCENIC LOOP By travelling on three designated scenic byways, you can make a loop trip. From Boise, take Highway 55 to Lowman (be sure and stop in Garden Valley/Crouch). Then go west on Highway 21 through historic Idaho City. The loop is 120 miles. 2 -- Boise County Guide -- May-June 2022

June 4-5, The Boise Ridge Riders will be hosting a 2-Day, AMA sanctioned Reliability Enduro: The Idaho City 100. This is a national level event over difficult terrain in the mountainous area outside of Idaho City. http://www.boiseridgeriders.org
The 10th Annual North Fork Championship Whitewater Festival is scheduled for June 16th through 18th on the North Fork of the Payette River north of Horseshoe Bend near Banks.

Idaho City Just an hour drive from Boise, along scenic Highway 21, is the classic western town of Idaho City, a famous mining camp that has refused to die.
In the 1860s Idaho City was one of the West’s largest gold rush mining towns with a staggering population of over 7,000 residents, and while the population has plummeted, the half-ghost-half-real town continues.
During the American gold rush, more than $250,000,000 worth of precious metal was mined from the nearby Boise Basin, turning the frontier outpost into a bustling mining mecca with over three dozen saloons and two dozen law offices. While most pop-up towns of its ilk have disappeared to time, Idaho City still thrives more than 100 years after its founding and while the gold rush days are gone forever, much of the boom town flavor remains ready to be experienced. Today Idaho City is a mix of old and new. Modern convenience stores, eating establishments and lodging are available while exploring the old city. Its proximity to a variety of outdoor recreational activities further increases the many reasons to visit!
New signage helps direct visitors to town attractions.
The 18th Annual Gold Dust Rodeo will be held on
Friday, June 24th – Saturday, June 25th, 2022 in Idaho City. This ICA sanctioned rodeo is held at Jim Haswell Arena. Come and enjoy great Rodeo action in a beautiful setting, in cool clear mountain air.

Lowman HOT SPRINGS - Up the Scenic Byway to the LOWMAN AREA
K
irkham Hot Springs, located near the Boise National Forest campground of the same name, features somewhat shallow rock pools (unimproved) with sand/rock bottoms next to the river. The multiple hot waterfalls are quite a sight! Both the pools and hot waterfalls can be seen from a large pullout off highway 21 on the west side of the campground. Spring soaking can help one avoid the full-house use of the summer and winter seasons.
Kirkham additionally serves as an interpretive site for geothermal activity. There is a trail that winds through the seeps and sources which continuously provide the hot springs pools with fresh mineral water. There are signs along the way that describe the hot springs and area history.
B
onneville Hot Springs, is a .25 mile hike and is accessible from the campground of the same name located just off highway 21 north of Lowman. Bonneville features user built rock pools with sand/silt bottoms and a private soak shack that houses a bathtub.
Boise County Guide -- May-June 2022 29
Lowman In 1907, Nathaniel W. Lowman settled here, and four years later, when he started a post of-
fice in his large log house, this community was named for him. Only a few scattered settlers lived here then. Lowman got all its supplies once a year from a large freight wagon over a state road built in 1894 to provide access to north Idaho. The highway followed in 1939. Nestled along the banks of the South Fork of the Payette River in the central part of the state it has a population of 42. The community is situated eighty miles from Boise at the junction of State Highway 21 and the Banks-Lowman Rd., also known as the “Wildlife Canyon Scenic Byway”. The Lowman School, a one room school house sits at the corner of this junction.

Garden Valley - Area Attractions Dine with us, recreate, or stay awhile at one of the many spectacular accommodations. Shop for locally crafted items. Celebrate the coming Spring Season and our pioneer past. The area’s mountains, river canyons and small towns are ideal destinations for outdoor activities from soft adventures to rugged expeditions.
WILDLIFE VIEWING Wildlife is abundant for viewing this time of year. Deer and elk will remain in the area into April when grasses begin growing and will begin migrating back to higher elevations as the snowline recedes. Late afternoon hours are best times for visitors to view wildlife; however, many will be visible at any hour. Male (buck) deer will have shed their antlers by this time of year. Male (bull) elk may still have their antlers, as they generally lose them in late March. Eagles may also be spotted by wildlife enthusiasts. According to a survey by the Census Bureau for the Fish and wildlife Service, more than 51 million Americans are bird watchers. The pastime is considered one of the fastest growing hobbies in the country. The Bald Eagle population in County is centered along the Payette River system where they feed on whitefish in the river and on winter kill big game animals.
Only One Hour From Boise!
GOLFING
Rapid snow melt early this spring should provide outstanding golfing opportunities at Garden Valley’s Terrace Lakes Resort. Boise County Guide -- May-June 2022 35
Garden Valley - Area Attractions Hot Springs -- Middle Fork of the Payette River -- CAUTION -- Check on whether 1 • Rocky Canyon
Middle Fork Road is open in EARLY SPRING before heading up to Boiling Springs Area!
12.5 miles from the intersection of Forest Road 698 (Middle Fork Rd.) and Hwy 17. Go 1.5 mi. past Hardscrabble Campground. Park in a pullout on your left. You’ll have to wade the river, which could be dangerous during high water. The spring emerges from the steep hillside near the mouth of Rocky Canyon. Bathers have chiseled out a family-size soaking pool well up the bank. A PVC pipe in the dam provides a great shower for the slightly cooler pool immediately below.
2 • Fire Crew
15 miles from the intersection of Forest Road 698 (Middle Fork Rd.) and Hwy 17. (2.5 miles past Rocky Canyon Hot Spring) to a junction at Trail Creek Campground. Take the left fork for .3 miles. Bear left on a rough spur ending at the river. A loop encircles an undeveloped camping area. The pools are out on a gravel bar to your right. The spring is on the river’s edge, but, on the near side. No river crossing necessary. Can get hot as the river drops -- some adjusting may be necessary!

Miles
23 miles from the intersection of Forest Road 698 (Middle Fork Rd.) and Hwy 17, to the road-end campground and trailhead. Stroll .3 miles north on the trail to find the springs flowing down a bank beside a couple of cabins. The cabins, formerly a Forest Service guard station, are now rented to the public for recreational use. Please ask permission before entering and try to avoid the cabin area as much as possible. Steaming water emerges at 188 degrees from many fissures in a cliff just beyond the cabins, and a broad cascade streams down the hillside. One spring flows through a shallow soaking pool or two at the base. The water cools as it runs through a ditch across a wide meadow. A few rock-lined pools at the river’s edge are usually filled on weekends with kids from the nearby campground.
Garden Valley - Area Attractions 4 & 5 • Moondipper - Pine Burl
Take your choice of trails from Boiling Springs upriver. Two separate springs flow down the banks of a creek just above the river into a pair of scenic soakers spaced 50 yards apart along the tree-studded canyon. Both get swamped during high water, so fall is an ideal time go visit these spots. One trail, steep and slippery in spots, hugs the west side of the river all the way. This is the safer route during high water. The Middle Fork Trail is more direct, but you’ll have to ford several times in the 2-mile hike upstream. When you reach Dash Creek, the first side stream on the west side, you’ll find Moondipper 30 yards up the creek against a rocky bank. The large, sandy-bottomed pool can hold several happy soakers and offers a great view up the canyon. Pine Burl, a gem tucked out of sight a few bends up the creek, has a pool roughly 7 to 8 feet in diameter. The name, once inscribed on a small masonry dam at the downstream end, has eroded away, but the inspiration for it still sits up the hill on the north side. The spring perks up through the sandy bottom, and if the water gets too hot, you can shift the rocks at the other end to let creek water trickle in.
The pool at Pineburl Hot Spring.
6 • Groundhog
1.3 miles beyond Moondipper and Pine Burl, there is little foot traffic, and the way is pretty brushy. Watch for Ground Hog Creek on the west bank shortly before the 8th ford of the river. Right after this crossing, the river makes a horseshoe bend to the right. Cross the river one last time to find the springs in the center of the curve on the east bank. Pool gets little use, so be prepared to move some rocks! 7 • Bull Creek Take Silver Creek Trail vs. Middle Fork. Drop down the far side of Silver Creek Summit into Bull Creek. Take Bull Creek Trail. Turn left and follow it 2.7 miles downstream above the north bank of Bull Creek. The trail drops steeply to a bridge over a small stream, then reaches another with no bridge. Look 30 feet uphill and climb up to reach the springs on a granite bluff overlooking the canyon. REMOTE and can get hot!
