Grand Jean, The Sawtooth Mountains & South Fork of The Payette River
We started with a drive through Idaho City, a booming gold rush town in the late 1800's (no photos... sorry). The population at that time grew to several thousand, now... a sign entering town posts a population of 338. Then, on to Grand Jean, a camping area along Bear Creek where we settled for lunch and a short walk. To finish out the day, we made a few stops along the South Fork of the Payette river on the way home. Nice white water... tubing anyone...???
