Overview
Driving Directions: Vehicle access to the claim is via a hard-pack dirt road which you can drive virtually up to the riverside. I’ve seen cars access the area as it is a maintained forest service road. The claim is located 24 miles outside the historic town of Idaho City. Driving directions to the claim: from Boise, travel north on HWY 21 to approximately 18.1 miles past Idaho City to the Jackson Peak Lookout turnout (Edna Creek Campground is at this junction). Head east on Crooked River Road (NF 384) for approximately 4 miles. Turn left and head north on Banner Creek Road (NF 312) for approximately 2 & ½ miles to the claim. If you reach the Banner Mine (about 1.5 miles farther up) you have gone too far. Signage is posted clearly identifying the claim along the roadside.
