Garden Valley

Garden Valley is nestled along Idaho State Highway 17, which is a National Scenic Byway. Designated the “Wildlife Canyon Scenic Byway“, it hosts exceptional wildlife viewing, hot springs and picturesque mountain scenery.

Garden Valley offers breathtaking scenery, historic landmarks, and gorgeous landscapes. 

The wild and turbulent South Fork of the Payette River crashes through the deep river canyons creating unforgettable opportunities for both rafters and kayakers. There is also abundant wildlife along the way. You also may see chukkers, wild turkeys, ospreys, cougars, bears and wolves in the valley. Herds of elk, nearly one hundred strong, can be seen in their winter range at the Danskin Station river access.
