From Glenn’s Ferry, ID we travel northwest to Boise where we catch the Payette River Scenic Byway north. The Payette is named after a French fur trapper who ran the Fort Boise trading post.
The temperature has cooled dramatically. I think we finally found the weather we have been searching for. We follow the Payette River north through a very narrow, beautiful V-shaped valley. As we travel the river changes from a lazy one to all white-water. The river looks very popular with kayakers.
Eventually the Payette enters a wide ranch valley. In the city of McCall we are surprised to find a very bustling resort town on a cute lake. The nearby State Park is full but we find a nice pine forested campground in the National Forest north of town. I think we might have overshot on the weather. It is feeling downright cold. Aimee and I both change into long pants, long sleeved shirt and even a jacket!
