Payette National Forest Overview

West-central Idaho's Payette is a latticework of rocky crags that stand taller than 7,000 feet and sequester pristine alpine lakes and meadows skirted by lush groves of aspen. Hikers can explore these ridges along switchbacks while shortcut seekers can scramble up steep domes of granite. Rock climbers test their mettle on andesite spires such as Devils Tooth, Tower of Babel, Mount Ogre, and the Goblin in the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. Read More
