Boise National Forest The Boise National Forest received its name from the French "bois," which means forest. In a sense, it is a forest twice blessed as it is twice named. Occupying 2,265,000 acres of land from north to east and southeast of Idaho's capital city, Boise, it is usually the first National Forest port of call for the majority of Idaho visitors.
Bonneville Point Section of the Oregon Trail At Bonneville Point, visitors can see ruts carved more than 150 years ago by the wagon wheels of westbound emigrants on the Oregon Trail and learn about the pioneers' long westward journey and how the city of Boise got its name. The site also features outstanding panoramic views of the Boise Valley and the Snake River Plain.
Boulder White Clouds Trailhead Campground 6100-foot elevation. Developed campground on the East Fork of the Salmon River. Fishing for rainbow trout. Trailhead for a fantastic lake-filled area within the White Cloud Peaks in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area.
Bruneau-Jarbidge Rivers Recreation Area Rhyolote canyons, towering 1,200 feet above the river, have sliced through the plateau of the Owyhee Uplands. The rivers offer challenging whitewater boating in an isolated setting. The canyons and plateau provide ample opportunity for those who wish to explore the area on foot. Sportsmen will find excellent fishing for trout and hunting for upland birds and some big game. The Bruneau Canyon Overlook offers an outstanding vista. The truly adventurous can explore 180,000 acres of pristine lands in two nearby Wilderness Study Areas. The upper canyon is the most scenic part and the easiest floating. Boaters can take out near the scenic overlook at Rogerson, but you have to climb out of the steep canyon. The second half, through Five Mile Rapids and Hot Springs Creek is rocky and requires a lot of maneuvering. Only experienced boaters should attempt the lower part of the Bruneau, especially at high water. The drive to the put-in is an experience in itself, and you should be prepared. Go with someone who knows the way, or hire a shuttle driver in Bruneau. From the confluence of the two rivers to south of Bruneau is 56 miles of class II-IV rapids.
Caldron Linn At this site near the Oregon Trail, the Snake River is forced through a passage less than 40 feet wide. The Wilson Price Hunt party of 1811 capsized several times here and had to make the rest of their journey on foot. Undisturbed by later farming in the area, it survives as an exceptional natural spectacle.
