National Parks and Forests

A portion of one of the National Parks lies in Idaho, the Yellowstone, and nineteen of the National Forests, namely: Boise (1,058,941), Cache (492,668), Caribou (681,540), Challis (1,259,237), Clearwater (785,103), Cœur d’Alene (662,611), Idaho (1,193,439), Kaniksu (198,757), Lemhi (1,095,924), Minidoka (509,536), Nezperce (1,624,582), Fayette (831,926), Pend Oreille (676,014), St. Joe (493,925), Salmon (1,621,707), Sawtooth (1,203,387), Selway (1,693,711), Targhee (977,847), Weiser (562,609). The figures tell the number of acres in each forest. [225]

The National Forests of this region offer exceptional opportunities for automobile campers. The Forest Service has as yet done little in this district to improve camp sites, but everywhere one finds spots of rare natural beauty where the autoist may camp at will. A certain class of people enjoy getting out of the beaten trails and finding out spots for themselves. To this class the National Forests of Idaho especially appeal.
