Idaho City Idaho City Area Offers Outstanding Nordic Skiing Opportunities All trails in this system are marked by 5” x 7” blue reassurance diamonds (blue blazes). The trails are nonmotorized during snow months. Some of the trails are groomed and some are not (see map on web - http://parksandrecreation.idaho.gov). For winter use, the trails are generally rated More Difficult or Most Difficult for skiing under good snow conditions. There are some short steep sections with sharp turns requiring advanced skiing techniques.
Banner Ridge Park N’ Ski
(Dogs allowed on ungroomed trails only)
• • • • • •
23 m N of Idaho City off Hwy 21 Intermediate - Advanced 22 miles Groomed Banner Ridge & Elkhorn Yurts Restroom
If you like to crank out the miles on your skis, backcountry ski or cruise around on snowshoes either on-trail or off-trail, the Banner Ridge area is packed with opportunity and fun. It’s a pretty steep 1.3-mile climb from the trailhead to the ridge, but once you’re on top, there are many loops, big views and open bowls to enjoy from there.
The Beaver Creek Summit Park N’ Ski Parking Area Trail (Dogs allowed year-round)
• • • • • •
25 m N of Idaho City off Hwy 21 Intermediate - Advanced 3 miles Not groomed Stargaze Yurt No Restroom
This ungroomed out-and-back trail is designed especially for backcountry Nordic folks, whether on skis or snowshoes. You’ll understand how it got its name after you make your way to the top of Stargaze Point (1.5 miles one way) where you’ll find a 360 degree view of the Boise National Forest that includes Pilots Peak, Wilson Butte, Sunset Peak, Rock Creek and Scott Mountain. At over 6,500 feet, it’s the perfect Telemark skiing on many north and west facing slopes where there is deep powder most winter seasons.

Idaho City The Gold Fork Park N’ Ski (Dogs allowed year-round)
•
• • • • •
20 m N of Idaho City off Hwy 21 Beginner-Intermediate 21.4 miles Groomed Whispering Pine & Skyline Yurts Restroom
The Gold Fork Park N’ Ski area provides access to two complete trail systems on either side of Hwy 21. One trail tours the Gold Fork area, the other loops the Skyline area and connects to the greater Banner Ridge/Beaver Creek trail systems. A separate ungroomed snowshoe trail tours a ridge in the Gold Fork area. There’s also a short snowshoe trail from the Skyline yurt. This is a great place to take kids for an easy, low key outing..
The Whoop-Um-Up Park N’ Ski (Dogs allowed year-round)
• • • • • •
18m N of Idaho City off Hwy 21 Beginner-Intermediate 6.6 miles Not Groomed Rocky Ridge Yurt Restroom
• Snowshoers with dogs love Whoop-Um-Up because this is one of the areas where dogs are welcome. Dogs are also welcome in the Rocky Ridge yurt. Be aware that the parking area is shared with snowmobiles, so you will encounter snow machines as you gear up for your adventure. Trails can be a bit rugged in this area with a few steep and challenging downhill sections along the creek trail. . For more information about cross-country skiing opportunities visit: www.parksandrecreation.idaho.gov.

Horseshoe Bend
Horseshoe Bend was originally settled as a gold miners’ staging area, as prospec-
tors waited along the river for snows to thaw at the higher elevations. Gold had been discovered in 1862 in the Boise Basin mountains to the east, near Idaho City.
The settlement became known as Warrinersville, after a local sawmill operator. The name was changed to Horseshoe Bend in 1867 for its location at the horseshoe-shaped U-turn of the Payette River. After the gold rush quieted, the city became a prosperous ranching and logging community. The railroad, from Emmett up to Long Valley following the Payette River (its North Fork above Banks), was completed in 1913. However, the railroad is not currently in use. The town’s current culture is a blend of ranching and is a growing bedroom community for Boise.

Lowman Hot Springs -- Lowman Area
Kirkham
In plain view below the highway, these popular pools are frequently filled with people. 4.3 miles east of Lowman on State Hwy 21. Cross the bridge to Kirkham Campground and park at the west end. The Forest Service collects a day-use fee. Large pools with moderate temperatures. Worth trying either during the early mornings or during the winter, when congestion in the campground and number of users is at a low point.
Bonneville Hot Springs
Private bathing and communal soaking in a scenic canyon. 19 miles northeast of Lowman on Highway 21. .3 miles north of Bonneville Campground. Great place to ski or snowshoe to. The aging bathhouse straddles the outflow, and hoses channel hot water into a tub that you can drain and refill after each use. The springsy flow past the bathhouse and tumble dfirectly over a rocky cliff into a giant soaking pool on one arm of Warm Springs Creek. The bath house is usable year-round and excellent for a quiet retreat during the winter months.

Garden Valley - Area Attractions Hot Springs -- Garden Valley -- South Fork Corridor
Hot Springs Campground A popular soak between Hot Springs Campground and the South Fork of the Payette River, 6 miles southeast of Crouch on Hwy 17. Near milepost 14. There’s a pullout on the bank, and steps lead down to the pool. A comfortable soaker big enough for a family group has been dug out of the bank well above the river. The shallow pool, dammed with rocks, offers a toasty soak year-round courtesy of a shower pipe that transports the hot water from the 100-degree springs.
Accessible Year ‘Round Pine Flats Hot dips and cliffside showers near a family campground on the South Fork of the Payette River 5 miles west of Lowman. Pine Flats Campground is located below the BanksLowman Rd. 5.7 miles west of Lowman and 28 miles east of Banks. Look for the hottest pools on paths that wind up the backside of a cliff, and cooler soaks at the bottom. A cascade pouring over a cliff delineates one side of a pool hidden 20 feet above the river. Hot! Cooler pools at the bottom collect the runoff, leading to a large swimming hole at the river’s edge.
