Headquartered in McCall, the Payette National Forest is a welcome destination for hikers, hunters, anglers and campers. In the winter, snowmobilers and cross-country skiers can be found in the forest's higher elevations and at the two developed downhill ski areas. The forest has more than 800,000 acres of wilderness, including some 650,000 acres of roadless areas. The forest administers the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and a portion of the Hells Canyon Wilderness.
Elevations on the Forest range from 1500 feet in Hells Canyon to over 9,500 feet in parts of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. Summer temperatures can exceed 100 degrees F, while winter temperatures can drop to -40.
