From Boise, take Idaho route 21 north for 12 miles. Take a
left on Highland Valley Rd (1/2 mile before the Hilltop Cafe on the left).
Continue up this road for 8 miles, following the track marked "E" at each
fork. The road is very rough but passable by two-wheel drive vehicles with
good ground clearance. |
