Wildlife Canyon Scenic Byway

Also known as the Banks-Lowman highway (for the two towns that bookend this drive,) this byway follows a section of the South Fork of the Payette River which is extremely popular with kayak afficionados.  There are some really nasty rapids along this stretch, and it's pretty fun to watch the kayakers bob up and down through the cascades here.
