Grayback Gulch Campground in Idaho
Transcription
We will be traveling along Highway 21, known as the Ponderosa Pine Scenic Byway, which snakes along Mores Creek, through historic Idaho City and on to the breathtaking views of the Salmon River Mountains of the Boise National Forest. The Grayback Gulch Campground is the first recreation facility, about 36 miles from Boise. It is located on a hillside in a beautiful ponderosa pine forest where summer flowers abound. The campground has two large group sites and 14 individual campsites. Each has a table, campfire ring and a lantern post. Vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided. A campground host is on site. Mores Creek can be accessed from the campground and the 1 mile Grayback Loop trail begins at the facility. We love its close proximity to Boise and the convenience of the space. It’s easy for families who are new to camping or who have come year after year. Reservations are available through the www.recreation.gov website or calling 1-877-444-6777. Further information is available by calling the Boise National Forest at area code 208-373-4007.
Route description
SH-36 begins at a diamond interchange with I-15. As Deep Creek Road, the highway travels east before turning southeast, passing through the forest and just west of Old Baldy Peak before entering the town of Weston. There, SH-36 turns north, entering Dayton before turning east. Crossing the Bear River, the highway continues into the city of Preston, running concurrently with US-91 due north along State Street before turning northeast along a roadway with SH-34. After crossing the Bear River again, SH-36 continues northeast, passing through the community of Mink Creek before passing through fields and forests. SH-36 passes through Liberty before ending in the town of Ovid just west of Montpelier.[1][2][3][4]
