Payette Whitewater and Boiling Springs ~ Idaho

Sawtooth · #1 Posted **Jun 11, 2012, 3:37 AM**

Photos I took while on a drive to Boiling Springs in the Garden Valley area within the Boise National Forest. Garden Valley is an hours drive into the mountains north of Boise. The road from town is a slow driving and winding highway over the pass and down to the Payette River.

South Fork, Payette River. Headwaters are in the Sawtooth Mountains.

Middle Fork, Payette River

Thanks. I am hoping to hit the South Fork Canyon run with a few friends this summer.

Stunning photos. Here is hoping to finding the time to get up to Idaho and ride some real whitewater.

Thanks for sharing this beauty!

What a nasty forest fire season we have had this year! I hope they find the idiot(s) who started the fire near your photos at Skinny Dipper Hotsprings and publically whip and humuliate them before hopefully sentencing them to years in prison.

Nothing beats beautiful Idaho mountain scenery.
