If you drive, you got to go down <A HRE="http://www.gonorthwest.com/idaho/northcentral/idnc.htm">This HIll</A>, which used to be an experience back in the day, before the new road. The is where the Nez Perce did well against General Howard. Those are the Seven Devils back there in the background. The Snake River flows along over there, and the Salmon flows into it. Then along the Salmon River for a ways, through Riggins, famous for the rodeo, or used to be, now rafting headquarters, end of the line through the wilderness area, then you climb up the Little Salmon River Canyon, to New Meadows, then you can take a left to McCall, or a right through Cambridge, to get to Boise. US 95 or 93, take your pick.
