In the summer of 2005, we returned to the Payette River area, this time to stay at the lovely Ashley Inn in Cascade. It was a real surprise to have something this nice in the Idaho mountains.

We saw marvelous views that you can't see from the highway. It was definitely worth the trip for the entire family.
