Directions: From Boise, take highway 21 past Mores Creek summit to Edna Creek Road.  Turn right.  You are on forest service (FS) road #384 this turns into #328.  Follow this road to the North fork of the Boise River.  Turn left on FS road #327 (north fork of the Boise River). Follow to Deer Park Guard Station. Turn right on Swanholm Creek road, I believe is still FS #327.  Follow this until you get to the middle fork of the Boise River, FS# 268.  Turn left.  Follow this road until you see the Queens River Trail Head sign.  Turn left.  The road to the trail head is 2 miles long and very narrow. Backing up if you meet someone head on would be interesting.  At the trail head there are bathrooms, tables, horse feed bunks and hitching posts.  There is plenty of parking.  Elevation is 5,383', about the same as Atlanta.  You are about 5 miles from Atlanta.
