McCall is in a unique position being central to some of Idaho’s most wild and scenic rivers. Flowing right through town is the Payette River. Starting high in the mountains, the North Fork flows first into Payette Lake then south into Cascade Reservoir before meeting up with the South Fork in Banks. Eventually, the Payette … Continued
Rock climbing has its own unique vocabulary. Trad, belay, beta, crux, protection, jug. If you are not familiar with these terms, you aren’t alone. But as any rock climber will tell you, the lingo is the least challenging aspect to the sport. “It is such an amazing feeling once you get up to the top,” … Continued
Who doesn’t love good old fashioned burger? While it is easy to discount a burger as “boring,” in and around McCall you will find they are anything but. Seemingly endless combinations of meat, bun, toppings and accompanying sides make this family favorite an easy go-to meal. At Cougar Dave’s in Donnelly, The Cowboy is our … Continued
Writer Arthur Plotnik once called the ponderosa pine “a Clint Eastwood of a tree.” These massive pines are rugged, lean, and hearty, living 500 years or more. Ironically, these resilient trees have a softer side. The bark of a ponderosa smells like butterscotch (yes, seriously!). It is easy to find ponderosa pines dotting the landscape, … Continued
There are not many things that compare to the feeling of hooking a fish. Watching your line suddenly disappear beneath the surface of the water with a quick tug is always thrilling.

Breakfast doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. When the lure of a perfect summer day calls, it is easy to opt for a grab-and-go option on your way out the door.

It isn’t often we get to witness the birth of a new sport. In recent history, only a handful come to mind, the most notable being snowboarding. Today, there is another new sport taking winter recreation by storm. Snow biking. A few years ago, you would have been forgiven for having never heard of it. … Continued
Vitamin D has earned a nickname as the “sunshine vitamin.” This magical compound helps boost your immune system, lift your mood, and increase your energy. In the winter months, Vitamin D can seem elusive…unless you are in McCall! With over 200 sunny days each year, McCall is the perfect place to replenish your Vitamin D … Continued
It is often easy to forget the work and vision of those who came before us. As we walk through downtown McCall with an ice cream cone in hand, we rarely remember that this vibrant town started as a 160 acre homestead. Posting a picture to Instagram of your hike to Louis Lake doesn’t automatically … Continued
Payette Lake is a scenic show-stopper. This deep alpine lake right in the heart of downtown McCall is perfect for summer boating, sailing, jet skiing, and swimming. When it comes to kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding, however, locals know that Payette Lake plays second fiddle to the North Fork of the Payette River. This lazy … Continued
We are in awe (serious awe) of the epic downhill mountain bikers who tackle the diverse terrain around McCall. For those with the skills, it is definitely worth a try. But let’s face it, not all of us have the balance and reflexes to keep from flying over a bike’s handlebars in a banked turn … Continued
There is a magical week that takes place every summer in McCall. A week where khaki shorts and polo shirts can been seen in every restaurant, every hotel, and every store. It is McCall Amateur week. Much like the hype of Masters Week for the PGA, the McCall Amateur holds a special place in the … Continued
For most of us, kayaking big water is not typically on our vacation bucket list. It takes a lot of skill and practice to be able to navigate whitewater in a tiny boat. However, we can’t talk about the river without paying homage to a specific 15-mile stretch of water along the North Fork of … Continued
