Lick Creek Area, McCall & Krassel Ranger Districts
The Lick Creek area is just east of McCall and is accessed from Lick Creek Road. This is a beautiful area that many think of as the Alps of Idaho. There are many recreational opportunities in this area such as camping, and many trailheads that lead to alpine lakes. A drive to the top of Lick Creek Summit from McCall only takes about an hour. This is a highly recommended area!
