adventures via horseback, motorcycle, ATV or hiking. Numerous trailheads

scenic meadow surrounded by a dense conifer forest. The Payette National
Forest contains some of Idaho's most beautiful and diverse country. Located in
west-central Idaho, north of Boise, the 2.2 million-acre forest extends 100
miles west to east, from Hells Canyon to the Middle Fork of the Salmon River,
and 70 miles north to south, from the Salmon River to the Weiser River.

## Nearby Attractions

While the Paddy Flat Guard Station is located within some of the most scenic
forest areas of Idaho, you may find a desire to visit "civilization" during
your visit. If you hanker for a pizza, hot lunch or subway sandwich, the town
of Donnelly is just a bit of back-tracking away. While you are there, take
some time to explore the historic town of Roseberry or take the ten mile drive
to Gold Forks Hot Springs for a relaxing dip in their pools. While McCall is a
bit further of a drive north, a walk through downtown is always a fun way to
while away the afternoon. Spend some time on the waterfront, take in a local
museum, visit Ponderosa State Park, or take a tour through the McCall Fish
Hatchery.
