McCALL
Be forewarned...this area will capture the heart of any fortunate
soul who happens to spend any time here. “The Heartland” is
a region filled with majestic mountains, pristine lakes, rushing
mountain streams, high country valleys, dramatic canyons and
secluded mountain glens. Wildlife abounds, including deer,
elk, moose, bear and an array of smaller creatures, and there are
lakes and waterways teeming with fish. Best of all is the yearround appeal of the region. With four distinct seasons, each
with its own special qualities and recreational activities, Cascade
provides residents and visitors with the opportunity for an active,
engaging lifestyle. The people who choose to make Cascade their
home reflect a character many of us admire, of people who are
willing to give up the trappings of the big city for a life that most
of us only dream about.
A resort city in Valley County, McCall is situated on the
southern shore of Payette Lake and near the center of the Payette
National Forest. McCall is one hundred miles north of Boise,
and is known for its Winter Carnival, extended winters, and
the highest average snowfall in the state. Nicknamed “Ski Town
U.S.A.,” McCall is the home to many past winter Olympic
athletes. Four distinct, dynamic seasons are what makes McCall
such a vibrant place to be any time of year. Choose your season,
choose your adventure.

WEISER
Beautiful Weiser, located at the confluence of the Snake and
Weiser Rivers, is a must-see as you travel through Idaho. Visitors
can enjoy a great meal at any of our restaurants and then walk
it off visiting numerous business and residential buildings
(many of which are on the National Historic Register), as well
as enjoying some terrific shopping with our friendly merchants.
You shouldn’t miss the old Intermountain Institute (behind
Weiser High School), which was built under the premise that
“every boy and girl who is willing to work can acquire an
education” and was incorporated in October of 1899. Join us for
the National Oldtime Fiddlers’ Contest & Festival held in June,
and the annual Weiser Valley Roundup the weekend following
the 4th of July. If motorized, muddy, messy events are more your
thing, the annual Mud Drag Races are held the first weekend in
October. Take a step back in time and come enjoy our very own
Illustrious Onionskin Players, who provide musical melodrama
family entertainment. Mark the first three weekends in March
and come join us to boo and hiss the villains and cheer for
the hero and heroine. They are at home in the renovated Star
Theater, built in 1917.
Outdoor recreation enthusiasts will enjoy the Weiser River Trail.
This non-motorized trail (Idaho’s longest) winds its way through
84 miles of roadless canyons and alpine meadows. Whether you
are a hiker, biker, equestrian, cross-country skier, or photographer
