Pioneer Historic Byway

Your journey begins in the extreme southeastern corner of Idaho at Franklin, Idaho's oldest city, before continuing up the Bear River through historically rich sites, spectacular scenery, and opportunities for wildlife viewing. Your trek takes you from vibrant small towns to abandoned places where the ghosts of the nation's past always linger nearby. Grays Lake Wildlife Refuge and Tincup Canyon are nearby.
