Beginning in Boise, the Ponderosa Pine Scenic Byway meanders through historic Idaho City, up to Lowman and on to the mountain town of Stanley at the base of the Sawtooth Mountains. This route is packed with outdoor adventure and stunning natural scenery, following a portion of the South Fork of the Payette River and passing the Sawtooth wilderness, Boise, Salmon-Challis and Sawtooth National Forests.
