Overview

If you are looking for an easy, leisurely, scenic drive not far from Boise, then this is the perfect road for you! West Blacks Creek Road is located in the Boise National Forest, has wonderful views of volcanic canyons winding along the South Fork Boise River, and hidden waterfalls come from streams out of the snowcapped mountains flowing into the river. It can take less than 30 minutes to hit the trailhead from Boise. It is an excellent trail for birdwatching as raptors such as hawks, and eagles like to nest along the rocky canyons, surf the wind streams and hunt along the South Fork River. There are also numerous hiking, camping, and has trailhead accesses to the Danskin Mountain OHV Trail System. It ends in the small town of Prairie.
