Galena Summit Overlook
Idaho
Also called the Bethine and Frank Church Overlook, this roadside pullout on ID-75 sits at 8,701 ft at the high point of the Sawtooth Scenic Byway. A viewing platform with interpretive plaques delivers panoramic vistas of the jagged Sawtooth Range and the broad Sawtooth Valley below, including the headwaters of the Salmon River. Rated difficulty 1 (easy access) by the Idaho Adventure Motorcycle Club.

Kirkham Hot Springs
Idaho
Natural thermal springs where 149°F water cascades over basalt ledges into a series of soaking pools along the South Fork Payette River, just off ID-21 (Banks-Lowman Road) at 4,000 ft elevation. Managed by the Boise National Forest; free access. Multiple pools at varying temperatures are formed by the mix of river and spring water. A short walk from the road.
