View of Mores Creek at Lucky Peak Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is Mores Creek Lucky Peak Bridge, where the Ponderosa Pine Scenic Route crosses Mores Creek just before the creek enters the Boise River at Lady Peak Reservoir. There is no hard shoulder, just one lane in each direction, so there is no stopping. The views here are quite dramatic over the side rails over the bridge, as Mores Creek has carved out quite a deep canyon by now, and the surrounding hills just emphasize this dramatic landscape.
