In our Idaho camping guide book, we found a really cool campground nestled in the Payette National Forest. At the campground, a trailhead begins along the Kennally Creek, which was swollen with snow run-off during our visit. A five-mile round trip hike through dense forest, by grassy meadows, over slithering snakes (*gulp*) and the cascading creek. We were away from everyone (we literally came across nobody!) made for a very enjoyable hike. By the way, while leading the group, it was Raymond who stepped right over the racer snake before he realized what it was. He got himself out of there in a flash, and was freaked out for a while. We even found a geocache way out along the trail, and it had only been partially-eaten by some curious critter who found it before we did.
Kids take a moment to enjoy the rushing North Fork of the Kennally Creek as they stand on the bridge along the trail.
