Hurricane Haylie: Scenic Byway trip with Grandma and Grandpa

My folks invited Haylie and I on a two day road trip through the Nez Pierce, Sellway, and Locsha National Forest. Their goal is to drive all the scenic byway highways in Idaho. Since we would be passing right by the Locsha Lodge, I suggested we stay there for the night. The Locsha Lodge is the same lodge that we go to every February to enjoy the hot springs. I was excited to see the area without 5 ft of snow. It's beautiful with the snow but even more spectacular with no snow. Along our way we saw the Sellway falls, lots of river rafters, an ancient cedar grove and an abundance of wildlife. The only thing that could have made it better was if Tom didn't have to work.

Two pretty rays of sunshine.

The pictures don't even come close to capturing the raging, rushing water

Long way up.

I love that you can see how the water has etched its swirling path into this rock.

Cute little working forest service cabin. Behind it had horse corrals and a barn.

One of the thousand white water rafters.

I missed the shot of the person falling out.

We hiked around the Cobalt licks, they are a natural area that salt and minerals rise to the surface . It attracts all sorts of wildlife. Along the trail there were a bunch of burned out trees.
