Kennally
Creek Hike
In our Idaho camping guide book, we found a really cool
campground nestled in the Payette
National Forest.
At the campground,
a trailhead begins along the Kennally Creek, which was swollen with
snow run-off during our visit. A five-mile round trip hike
through dense forest, by grassy meadows, over slithering snakes
(*gulp*) and the cascading creek.
We were away from everyone (we literally came across nobody!)
made for a very enjoyable hike. By the way, while leading the
group, it was Raymond who stepped right over the racer snake before he
realized what it was. He got himself out of there in a flash,
and was freaked out for a while. We even found a geocache way out along the trail, and it had only been partially-eaten by some curious critter who found it before we did.
