If you're coming from Boise City-Nampa it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The wonderful Idaho scenery and the cool fresh water have people coming here. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Idaho are often more challenging than in other states, so keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. Not too many hotels
    nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your
camping stuff. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. Mores Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Big Gulch to Robie Creek section is the only one.

certainly worth visiting.
