Scenic Drives

Sometimes the best view is right from the road. With three scenic byways converging in Baker, you’ll find plenty of gorgeous scenery right out your car window. Byways can be done as loops, in sections, or simply on the way to a different activity.

Details

Distance

Scenic byways vary in length, but none of them are short! If you plan to complete a portion or an entire byway loop, plan ahead and factor in where you can stop for bathroom breaks and food.

Access

Scenic byways traverse high elevations and mountain terrain. Always check weather forecasts and road closures to ensure routes are accessible and safe to drive.

In winter, snow closes certain sections of the Hells Canyon and Elkhorn Scenic Byways to passenger vehicles.
