I’m not sure how exactly I ended up at the Swan Falls Dam in the Snake River Canyon to camp. As I sifted through free campsites on my iOverlander and Free Roam apps, I wanted a place within one hour of Boise that included cell service and was located near wildflowers. I only succeeded at landing within one hour of Boise.
Perhaps I was tired from my time in Moab and two days of driving to Idaho with a stops on the way when I selected directions to Swan Falls rather than Halverson/Bar Lake. They were both located in the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey NCA, 40 miles south of Boise, but Halverson/Bar Lake had cell service and Swan Falls didn’t.
