Overview
Driving Directions from Boise: Take HWY 55 (from State Street aka HWY 44), north out of Boise towards McCall. You will stay on HWY 55 for approximately 42 miles, and make a right onto HWY 17 at Banks (heading towards Garden Valley/Lowman). Continue on HWY 17 for approximately 11.5 miles (about a mile past Garden Valley), turning right (south) on the Meadow Creek Rd. (NF 615 aka Alder Creek Rd. that heads to Placerville). In a ¼ mile you will cross the bridge over the SF Payette River. Stay on this for 4.9 miles until you reach the mining claims. The claims are marked on the side boundaries (north/south or east/west edges) along the road (on the creek side), as well as corner markers.
