About the Ponderosa Pine Scenic Byway
Beginning in Boise, the Ponderosa Pine Scenic Byway meanders through historic Idaho City, up to Lowman and on to the mountain town of Stanley at the base of the Sawtooth Mountains. This route is packed with outdoor adventure and stunning natural scenery, following a portion of the South Fork of the Payette River and passing the Sawtooth wilderness, Boise, Salmon-Challis and Sawtooth National Forests.

About this page's facts
The line is the Federal Highway Administration's scenic byways layer (HEPGIS, a snapshot of 2022-06-24, a US government work), cut at the state line and simplified for the map; the length is the line's. The designation is the program's own: the national tiers from FHWA's America's Byways roster, the rest from the layer's designation field. Road conditions, closures and seasonal gates change: check the agency's own page and the state's road conditions before you go.
