Payette
River Scenic Byway (North)
While we had
already driven the Southern
section of the
byway several times, we haven't explored or recorded the
northern half of it very much, so we wanted to make a page dedicated to
the entire drive. The northern half is very beautiful as it
winds through the Payette
National Forest, right along the rapidly flowing North Fork
of the Payette River, which is considered by some experts to be one of the most challenging river reaches in North America, if not the world. We took quite a few pictures of the
entire camping trip that can be seen here.
